The 2011 Midnight Walk raised around £200,000 for St Elizabeth Hospice
Just under 1,900 women took part many walking in memory of a loved-one and the atmosphere on the night was amazing, a mixture of fun and poignancy.
The women started by taking part in a mass warm up on the practice pitch led by Bollywood dance expert Honey Kalaria, who has performed with many celebrities over the years including Beyonce.
The entertainment en route proved a hit, particularly the muscly bare-chested men from Felixstowe dressed in collars and cuffs at the California Club in Foxhall Road. The firemen at the Colchester Road station also got into the spirit of things and the Town 102 mascots added to the fun factor.
For the first time walkers had a poignant moment for reflection outside the Hospice and the opportunity to have a personal message tied to a memory tree.
The first walkers returned in 1h 50mins with the last arriving back at 3am.
