Churchgoers donned classic outfits spanning 15 decades as they celebrated 150 years of a New Malden church.

Christ Church, in Coombe Road, celebrated its 150th anniversary with a special service yesterday with many churchgoers dressing as suffragettes, hippies and Victorians to mark the occasion.

A fancy dress competition was put on for the children, which was won by Thomas, 5, and Lara Ralphs, 3.

Almost 150 people attended the service, with an exhibition detailing the milestone also put on by Vicar Stephen Kuhrt.
