For more than 50 years, Lego toys have been an integral part of the British Christmas – but never quite like this. Duncan Titmarsh, the only Lego certified professional in the UK, and his team of helpers took 32 days and 700,000 bricks to build the giant sleigh, right, with Santa and nine reindeer led by Rudolph. Toby Fisher, eight, was the first lucky youngster to climb aboard the sleigh, which is delighting shoppers at Covent Garden in Central London. A young boy looks up at Santa  as the giant sleigh was unveiled to the delight of shoppers in Covent Garden
