Thousands of women joined the walk through London

The Playtex Moonwalk began in Hyde Park, central London, followed a marathon-length 26.2-mile route.

It is expected that the women, who dressed in decorated bras, will have raised more than �4m.

Model Nell McAndrew and Anthea Turner joined the eighth annual walk along with an estimated 15,000 women.

Nina Barough started the Walk the Walk charity in 1996 when she and 12 women power-walked the New York marathon in decorated bras.

Ms Barough discovered she was suffering from breast cancer the following year.

Designer bras

The team grew and took part in two London marathons.

But as they found it difficult to get marathon places, they created the Moonwalk.

Other famous walkers included Victoria Wood, Koo Stark and Sally Gunnell, who wore bras created for them by top designer Frank Usher.

All money raised will go to Breakthrough Breast Cancer and the Bristol Cancer Help Centre.
