ZOMBIES roamed the city's streets raising money for charity.

On Sunday, the Worcester Zombie Walk took place for a seventh time as the city's horror fans got dressed up.

The walk was raising money for Clic Sargent, which helps children suffering from cancer.

Co-organiser Tracey Monaghan said: "Everyone looks fantastic and a lot of them have done their own makeup this year.

"It is good to see everyone experimenting and having fun.

"The walk is a good way for horror fans to have a bit of fun and to raise money for a brilliant cause."

The walk started off at The Crown at noon, before wandering passed confused and interested spectators to the Elgar Statue and then along The Shambles before returning to The Crown.

Around 50 people took part this year, including Jodie Spragg and her 14 year-old brother Louie Spragg.

She said: "It is a really good excuse to get dressed up.

"I brought my little brother as he loves zombies, but to be fair I am having as much fun as he is.

"We spent last night painting aprons specially and about half an hour on makeup this morning."

Stef McAuley brought her three year old nephew Malachi, already in his third zombie walk.

Malachi was dressed in a sixties theme, whilst Ms McAuley wore an eighties theme.

Ms McAuley said: "I really enjoy these days because I get to dress up and you also can meet new people.

"You get to look like this and when you see people's reaction you can think, now I have made an impact!"

Adam Teague, also dressing up said: "This is like Christmas for me, and it makes it better that it has nothing to do with Halloween.

"You get to meet new people and talk about zombies, whilst being dressed up for the occasion."

Ross Anderson 15, of Tudor Grange School was also amongst the zombies with his friend Jack Patey.

Ross's mum Mandy Anderson was told whilst she was pregnant that Ross had a one per cent chance of survival.

The walk was followed by a 'zombola', a quiz, , a movie and the return of the brain eating contest.
