PICTURES: Moonlight Walk in aid of St Wilfrid's Hospice
There was plenty of laughter and smiles as walkers set off on the ten-mile route at midnight, starting from Westgate Leisure Centre, on Friday, June 17.
Before embarking on the walk, participants were asked to place a message, poem or photo on the memories wall and they enjoyed a range of entertainment including face painting and magic before taking part in a gentle warm-up session.

Hide AdFund-raiser Jill Dennison said organisers were now waiting for the money to come in.
“So far with walker’s pledging to raise well over £67,000 in sponsorship – together with business sponsorship, registration fees and expected gift aid – our supporters will raise in the region of £90,000,” she said.
The top fund-raising team will receive a spa day at the leisure centre and the top individual fund-raiser will receive a £100 voucher to spend at Amoeba Jewellers in Chichester.
Both prizes were donated.
