The AA's official traffic alert reads: "Partially blocked and slow traffic due to a large inflatable Santa on road on B198 Cromwell Road both ways in Wisbech."

This footage of the escaped Father Christmas was captured by reader Muhammad Fareed who kindly supplied it to the Peterborough Telegraph after filming the incident at around 1.30pm on Tuesday.

Cambridgeshire Police said they had not been notified of the obstruction.

There were delays as one lane of the road was blocked, but traffic was still able to pass the scene.
