A record number of people took part in a recreation of one of the most memorable moments in cinematic history yesterday.

Hundreds of runners resplendent in white T-shirts took to St Andrews’ famous West Sands for the annual Chariots of Fire beach race.
Now in its ninth year, the extravaganza reflects the opening scene from the 1981 movie, which shows a parade of young men jogging through sand and surf in slow motion.
