Hundreds of people have walked through Edinburgh in their bras for MoonWalk Scotland for the final time.

The event - to raise money for breast and other cancers - set off from Holyrood Park at 22:30 on Saturday.

Light installations showed the walkers the way and many buildings in the city were also lit up in pink.

Organised by breast cancer charity Walk the Walk, Scotland's MoonWalk has raised £22m since it was first staged in 2006 but, after 19 years, it now plans to go on tour to another city.

Prof Carolyn McDonald, Helen Moores-Poole and Anne Wallace completed the full 26-mile course with their team, the Allied Angels
