Pictures as annual charity Santa Dash sees Lancaster city centre painted red

CancerCare’s annual Santa Dash saw the streets of Lancaster painted a seasonal splash of red on Sunday.

The Santa Dash is one of the charity’s flagship events which each year sees hundreds of people dressed as in their festive finery enjoy a one-mile fun run around the city centre as part of the big Christmas light switch-on festivities.

Each year the event raises thousands of pounds to help the charity provide free professional therapy for local people affected by cancer and bereavement.
