Thousands get in line for Palace Pier conga

Thousands of fundraisers got into the party spirit at the weekend with a huge conga around a pier.

The charity event on Saturday saw everyone from primary school pupils to pensioners linking up to conga around Palace Pier in Brighton.

The routine was part of a national charity event to celebrate British Tourism Week.

Money raised from the event went to Macmillan Cancer Support.

The line was led by an Elvis impersonator, with several other costumes on display, including a shark and a pair of Oxo cubes.

Prizes were handed out for the most inventive costumes and the biggest groups.
