Follow up to the headline published last Friday

More than 8,000 people stepped out in Edinburgh in decorated bras to raise money for breast cancer research.
The participants, including some men, left the Meadows at midnight for the first ever MoonWalk in Scotland.
The walkers travelled either 13.1 miles, a half moon, or the full moon, 26.2 miles.
Television presenter Lorraine Kelly was among those taking part. The walk's organiser, Walk the Walk, is aiming to raise more than £1m.
Edinburgh is the first MoonWalk outside London, where it has been an annual event since 1998.
