Festive fun: scores attend Christmas pudding race in central London

Scores of people turned out in Covent Garden in central London on Saturday to watch The Great Christmas Pudding Race.

The whacky charity event sees teams in fancy dress costumes race to complete the festive course, navigating obstacles such as a giant inflatable slide and a crazy foam slalom all whilst balancing a Christmas Pudding on a tray.

The festive fun is in aid of Cancer Research UK.
