Pink army out in force for Watford Race for Life

Mums, daughters, grandmas and sisters braved the rain to complete the 5k course in Cassiobury Park on Sunday and raise money for Cancer Research UK.

The pink army took to social media with the proud fundraisers, some who collected tens of thousands of pounds after the event, praising a "great atmosphere".

Here are some tweets from the day:
