Superhero start for scary week

A SELECTION of superheroes gathered as the Bognor Regis town mayor launched his scary week.

The likes of Superman and Captain America walked with Cllr Phil Woodall along the town's seafront before he completed the first of his challenges for charity. He climbed the inflatable slide on the foreshore before he completed a few circuits of the ride-on children's cars.

He said: "I've got an extra week as mayor this year because of the late bank holiday. I wanted to do a few challenges to raise money for my chosen charities - Alzheimer's Society and Epilepsy Action.

"I don't like heights and I don't like going on water."

Among the 12 superheroes to join Cllr Woodall on Monday were Bognor Regis brothers Josh Morgan, nine, and Tommy Morgan, six.

Josh went along as Captain America. He said: "He is so cool. He is super strong and can do a lot of things.

"I've seen some of his films and I read the comics which have him in."

Tommy was Spiderman. He said: I like the fact he can climb the walls and shoot web from his hands."

Cllr Woodall's other challenges this week have included the hydraulic platform at Worthing Fire Station, visiting the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and tackling a climbing wall. This weekend will see him waterborne twice.
