Hundreds of people took to the streets to ensure that Herefordshire's messiest event went out in a blaze of colour.
The last ever Paint Runner took place at Hereford's King George V Playing Fields on Saturday, raising money for St Michael's Hospice.

"We are excited by what might replace it, and can’t wait to let everyone know our plans in due course.
"As always though, it’s our supporters who help bring our events to life. All ages and all abilities have caught the Paint Runner bug over the years."
"To everyone who has been splattered by paint, thrown paint, or sponsored those taking part, I’d like to say a huge thank you."
