PAISLEY’S very own weatherman went down a storm when he joined another very special guest at a primary school’s big Christmas Fayre.

Sean Batty got into the Christmas spirit as he helped Santa Claus open St Mary’s Primary School festive fayre.

And the event at the school in Maxwellton Road, Paisley, eventually raised a whopping £2,000.

The Paisley-born star has been a big hit with viewers since taking over as Scotland Today’s weather presenter and he proved a big hit with everyone at the event and was even one of the last to leave.

Visitors were treated to a whole range of stalls selling everything from crafts, toys and even home baking.

There was also be face painting, as well as the traditional Santa’s Grotto.

Helen Friel, head teacher at the school, said: “It was a brilliant experience for the whole school and the community and there was a fabulous buzz about the place on the day.

“I was delighted that people in the community with no connection to the school came along to join in and I would like to thank all the parents, staff and pupil’s who worked so hard to make the day a great success.”

She added: “I would also like to thank Sean Batty who stayed for the whole day and really proved a great hit with everyone involved.”
