Some 17,000 people walked through the city on Saturday to raise cash for charity and celebrate National Day.

From the young to the old, they gave their time and money.

Among them was Joshua Teo, an architecture student.

He said: 'We're here to raise funds for Touch Community Services and also to raise awareness of the needs of our community. It is really a good thing we're having.'

Also joining in the 'Take The City Walk' were government officials, including the Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports.
