A GANG of 500 leather-clad bikers rode into Central Middlesex Hospital in Acton Lane, Park Royal, laden with gifts for sick children.

The unusual Santas were from the Ace Cafe, a regular haunt for motorcycle enthusiasts, mods and rockers in Stonebridge. Manager Mark Wilsmore said: "The public know about our toy run and donate thousands of presents each year. It took Santa about a week to wrap them all this year."
