Those joining us are also invited to bring a small gift or toy to place under the tree should they wish to do so. Please label the wrapped gift to indicate the age and gender for which it is intended.

All the donated gifts will be distributed to sick and underprivileged children in Leeds.

YEP editor Laura Collins said: "The Yorkshire Evening Post's Christmas Carol Service is a wonderful opportunity to get into the festive spirit.

"It is brilliant to see so many of our readers gather at Leeds Minster every single year to celebrate the festive season.
