Ten pubs turned out for Dover Lions Club’s annual publicans’ walk along the seafront.

The walk, now in its 41st year, was again magnificently supported with many in fancy dress.

Money raised on the day helps to fund a Christmas dinner for the elderly later in the year.

Mayor Pam Brivio and Lions president John Brook had a difficult task in choosing the winners, with trophies awarded for first, second and third.

Blakes won the top prize for its “brilliant depiction” of pubs in Dover, past and present.

The Old Endeavour also impressed judges with its circus theme and third place went to the Carriers Arms, which which had a “weird and wonderful theme” to its entry.

In the individual category, a gladiator representing The Eagle came first, with Dave Gosling (The Dewdrop) second as the saxophonist from The Muppets and Nicholas Doel (The Park Inn) third as the fairy on the Christmas tree.

Trophies for the most sponsorship raised will be awarded at a later date.

Others who turned out to support the walk were The Cinque Port Arms, Dover Sea Angling Club, The Duchess and The Funky Monkey and The Carpenters Arms, Coldred.
