A charitable animal lover completed a London to Brighton bike ride in a monkey suit.

East Molesey resident Nancy Priston hopped on her saddle to raise money for education and primate conservation projects she is involved with in Indonesia.

The ride started at the Pavilion leisure centre in East Molesey where a crowd of members turned out to Miss Priston off.

She cycled the entire 53 miles in a furry monkey suit and managed to raise more than £800.

The money will go toward a project she has been involved with for 13 years in Buton, a remote Indonesian island where Miss Priston works with farmers to conserve the endangered monkey that lives on the island - the buton macaque.
