HUNDREDS of walkers set off this morning on the 11th annual Pink Ribbon Walk at Blenheim Palace.
The event is in support of charity Breast Cancer Care and organisers this year hope to raise £250,000.

About 1,000 people overall are expected to take part in its three walks, which are spread through the day.
First to set off at 9am were those taking part in the 20-mile race.
Hundreds gathered to warm up in front of an instructor on stage, with the palace in view behind her.
Organiser Lucy Johnston said that despite a drizzly start to the morning she was hoping the weather would look up.
She added: "This is always one of our most popular events and last time the people of Oxfordshire were amazing.
"We have been coming to the palace now for 11 years, so it is our longest-standing Pink Ribbon event in the series."
The next walk, 10 miles long, started at 11.30am.
