Racers dressed as a skyscraper, beekeeper and a chest of drawers were among dozens of runners in zany costumes zipping around a central London square with a frying pan in hand to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, or “Pancake Day.”
Hundreds of people packed into Guildhall Yard and cheered as participants in the annual Inter-Livery Pancake Race ran around the square while tossing pancakes in their frying pans.
