Join the line! That was the call as the fourth annual Funday Sunday was staged at Parkeston Railway Club.

About 100 people turned out for a 12-hour line dance festival to raise funds for Essex Air Ambulance.

Disco and dance instruction was on offer from Join The Line and Friends and everyone was kept entertained throughout the day, which got under way at about 11am.

Lois Lightfoot, one of the organisers, said they were very pleased with the turnout and the event had been a great success.

"Everyone had a great time and we took £250 on the raffle alone," she said.

"Once we have had the profits from the door money, we hope to have raised about £500 for Essex Air Ambulance."
