Purfleet was the location of a festive shoot after Boots decided to film part of their Christmas advert on the Garrison estate.
The advert shows two sisters meeting at Christmas to exchange presents.
When one of the women opens her present, she exclaims "How did you know?" and then proceeds to hug her sister who gave it to her.
While hugging, they take a trip down memory lane. During this nostalgic moment, there is a scene of two girls running around by the bank of the River Thames on the Garrison estate.
The advert has proven to be a success, prompting Alison Moyet to re-release her 1982 hit with Yazoo, Only You, (which features in the advert), due to popular demand.
