Red Funnel are used to carrying unusual cargo on their Southampton to Cowes route. But two reindeer are probably some of their most unusual. Tinsel and Snowflake were heading to Tapnell Farm in Yarmouth to bring some Christmas cheer for the children on the Isle of Wight. Santa even took time out from wrapping presents to pet them as they waited for the ferry to arrive. BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley went along to meet them.
