PANCAKE day was celebrated in style as the city's businesses and organisations took to the streets for the Annual International Pancake Race.

Each year, St Thomas's Church and Trussell Trust Salisbury Foodbank welcome more and more entrants eager to show off their skills.

This year was no exception, with a representatives from Salisbury Diocese, Salisbury International Arts Festival, JoJo Mamon Bebe, Salisbury VETS, Babylon Language School, Britain's Nicest Job and Richard Griffiths solicitors and Harnham Parish all taking part.

A specially constructed 'runway' was created on the High Street, with two participants taking part at a time.

Mayor Derek Brown was the official race starter.

Babylon Language School retained their trophy, and were awarded the coveted Golden Pan Trophy with a £50 Cote Brasserie voucher.

Trussel Trust events manager Mark Elling said the event went very well.

"We were delighted to see the ingenious costumes, and various organisations resplendent in uniforms and corporate T-shirts."

Mayor Brown said it was a terrific day with plenty of fancy dress entrants.

"The High Street was packed with amused and bemused spectators. I particularly loved the fact that a young man can win a frying pan."

The event was conceived to raise awareness for the foodbank and the outreach of St Thomas's Church.

The Trussell Trust's next fundraising activity will '40 for 40', held during lent.
