Hundreds of children dressed up in their finest outfits yesterday as they took part in the annual Starlit walk for Rowans Hospice.

Rowans Hospice Charity welcomed hundreds of children to Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard on October 26 to take part in the annual Starlit Walk.

This sponsored walk offered a choice of a 1.5 or 3 mile route and attendees were given the opportunity to explore the iconic sights of the Dockyard by twilight, while remembering a loved one.

All of the money raised from the event will go towards Rowans Hospice which provides much-needed support to people in the local community when they need it most.

Here are 22 pictures from the Starlit Walk:
