London Pantomime Horse Race sees panto horses race through Greenwich
- 4 years ago
The 10th annual London Pantomime Horse Race took place on Sunday (December 15) on the streets of Greenwich.
Participants dressed in outlandish pantomime-horse outfits to run the course, which included a number of pub pit-stops along the route.
Some of the best costumes had Star Wars-themes, including Darth Maul, Yoda and an AT-AT, the legged military vehicle used by Darth Vader's evil forces.
The event raises money for charities including the Rosie's Legs campaign and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Panto, short for Pantomime, is a British theatrical tradition popular around Christmas time, that typically involves bawdy jokes, simple fairy tale themes and often a comical horse that is obviously just two actors in a furry suit.
