Knitted nativity figures including Mary, Joseph, a donkey and the angel Gabriel have been offering commuters "signs of the Christmas story" throughout December.

The touring miniature figures visited some of the London rail network's most holy (sounding) stations to mark advent.

They have travelled both nationally and internationally since Father Chrichton Limbert - vicar of Christ Church, Southgate - bought the characters on eBay in 2015.

This year they have already visited Angel, Marylebone and Gospel Oak to spread the Christmas message.
