Picture special: Wigan's wonderful and wacky Boxing Day fancy dress bonanza

Wigan town centre was a riot of colour and laughter as it once again hosted its famous Boxing Day fancy dress night.

Grim weather failed to deter hundreds of mainly young people as they took to King Street and Wallgate in often the scantiest of costumes for this traditional post-Christmas fun in local clubs and bars.

The partying went on well into the small hours of Wednesday.
