Rowans Hospice Charity welcomed hundreds of children to Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard on October 26 to take part in the annual Starlit Walk.

This sponsored walk offered a choice of a 1.5 or 3 mile route and attendees were given the opportunity to explore the iconic sights of the Dockyard by twilight, while remembering a loved one.

All of the money raised from the event will go towards Rowans Hospice which provides much-needed support to people in the local community when they need it most.

Here are 22 pictures from the Starlit Walk:
