Thousands of Wallies brave Mini Beast from the East for UK fun run

Thousands braved the cold to take part in a "Where's Wally?" fun run in London on Sunday.

The event, which was in aid of the National Literacy Trust, saw participants of all ages jogging through Clapham Common dressed in the red and white stripes of the elusive children's character.

The book, in which readers have to scour crowded pages of illustrations to find Wally, is known as "Where's Waldo?" in the United States.

The National Literacy Trust is a charity dedicated to raising literacy levels in the UK.
