FORGET 34th, there was a miracle on Pyle Street this week and Santa will take flight once again this Christmas Eve — thanks to a little help from the County Press and Nettlecombe Farm.

Last week the County Press reported the annual Santa Tracker, run by the Isle of Wight Weather Centre, needed £300 for upgraded servers to deal with the extra traffic. Last year more than one million people visited the website to watch Santa as he made his way across the UK.&a mp;lt;/p>

However, the Santa Tracker has been saved after Nettlecombe farm agreed to be this year's sponsor — and they have even offered Santa the use of their reindeer, Comet and Dancer.

Meteorologist David Carrington runs the Santa tracker, updating it between 7pm and 9pm on Christmas Eve.

He said: "It has taken such a weight off, and I can't wait to get the Santa tracker back up and running again."
