There's nothing like a Halloween party to bring the skeletons out of the closet
This skeleton may be all bones, but it's got style

Skeletons took to the streets of Lincoln earlier as part of a terrifying transformation.

The Strolling Bones Skeleton Parade returned to the Cathedral Quarter and included a range of musicians, performers and puppets.

Members of the public were invited to dress up and join in the fun.

Courtney Harrison, marketing coordinator at Lincoln Big, said the event was amazing and the turnout has been great for businesses.

She said: "The Strolling Bones parade is a theatrical performance, so all the kids can get involved as well.

"It's amazing, it's over double of what we had last year.

"The city is absolutely rammed, it's great footfall for businesses in the area. The turnout's just incredible."
