'Miss Englands' on the pull in London
15 July 2009
PA
A bunch of beauty contest finalists showed their drive to succeed by dragging a pink Mini convertible into London to raise money for charity.
The 12 Miss England finalists used a tow rope to pull the car 15 metres with last year's winner Laura Coleman in the driving seat.
The show of strength raised £5,000 towards a fundraising target of £35,000 to be divided between The Variety Club, eating disorders charity B-Eat, and The National Autistic Society. The event was in advance of the Miss England grand final on Monday.
