Fancy dress revellers take to the streets in police outfits, cowboy gear and sombreros

Hundreds of revellers have taken to the streets of Leeds in fancy dress to celebrate the city’s famed Otley run.

Dressed in sombreros and ponchos, cowboys gears and as cops and robbers, young people made the most of the Yorkshire city’s notorious pub crawl on Saturday night.

The 1.5 mile route,  which runs throughout the year, often sees students and locals dress up in costumes as they hit up to 18 pubs in a night.

On Friday, revellers were spotted dressed as golfers, superheroes, jockeys, dalmatians and hippies as some looked worse for wear, taking stumbles to the ground or keeling over. 

Traditionally, partygoers start the marathon crawl around 3pm and spend around half an hour in each pub before heading home in the early hours.  

Shots from the big night out show students supporting one another by holding each others hair back and giving one another piggybacks.
