Scores of contestants took to the streets for a traditional Pancake Day race – a week after the day itself.

The annual event in Horsham town centre was delayed by organisers so it could take place during the half term holiday to allow more children to enjoy the spectacle.

The event, organised by the Rotary Club of Horsham in partnership with Horsham District Council, has been growing in popularity since it was first held four years ago.

People representing local businesses and other organisations competed for various prizes while helping to raise money for charity. They were cheered on by TV presenter Dave Benson Phillips.
