Hundreds of children wearing fancy-dress costumes took part in a 5k fun run through Beaconsfield Old Town on Friday.

The youngsters from The Beaconsfield School and Alfriston School were wearing an array of costumes, including a group dressed as the pink ladies from Grease and the yellow minions from Despicable Me.

The race was started in the Hall Barn Estate by Beaconsfield town crier Dick Smith, with the race winners given their medals at the finish-line by mayor of Beaconsfield, Steve Jones.

The Beaconsfield School’s Tom Scott, 14, won this year’s competition with a time of 19 minutes and 37 seconds.
