Leaders' children add festive cheer to Christmas cards | |

Their children play a big role in this year's selection of Christmas cards from the party leaders. | |
David and Samantha Cameron's card features a black and white portrait of them and youngest daughter Florence. | |
Labour leader Ed Miliband and his wife Justine are pictured walking along the Brighton seafront with their two sons. | |
Nick Clegg and wife Miriam's choice of photo is most festive, thanks to their sons drawing on a Christmas tree, a Santa hat, reindeer ears. | |
Sitting on a sofa, the deputy prime minister is daubed with a white beard while his wife sports a shiny red nose, added by their three sons using a computer app. | |
Florence Cameron is the only one of the prime minister's three children to feature in his family's card. | |
She also appeared in his 2010 card, which featured an image of her outside No 10 just days after she was born. | |
In 2012, the family chose an image of the Olympic torch arriving outside No 10 while, a year earlier, a photo of a street party for the royal wedding was used to represent their year. | In 2012, the family chose an image of the Olympic torch arriving outside No 10 while, a year earlier, a photo of a street party for the royal wedding was used to represent their year. |

In contrast to his political rivals, UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has promised a "suitably festive" theme. | |
He tweeted: "I suspect there will be a mixture of nativity and also some robins and winter scenes. But with religious themed stamps." | He tweeted: "I suspect there will be a mixture of nativity and also some robins and winter scenes. But with religious themed stamps." |

The image she has chosen is of a wooden structure at Wolstonbury Hill, in the South Downs National Park. |
