Dozens of workers from a care home in Prestwich has a 'buzzy' time last week as they completed a gruelling charity walk dressed as bumble bees.
The workers, who had completed the journey from Nazareth House in Prestwich to Bolton Town Hall in just five hours, carried out the journey to raise money for a rented minibus for the home's residents.

Cheryl Tynan, who is a carer at Nazereth House, said: 'The day has been absolutely amazing, the residents came out to support us and see us off.
'To see their faces was really special, we weren't given a target financially but we were hoping to raise around one thousand pounds.'
Those interested in donating can still do so via the fundraiser link.
Heather Willis, activities coordinator at Nazareth House, added: 'We're hoping that the minibus will increase the wellbeing of our residents, we can rent it out for days out to Blackpool.
'We have raised money previously to do up the unit, so the lounge has been refurbished and we have a television installed in there. We want to thank everyone who has supported this wonderful cause.'
