MPs, Lords and journalists raise money by tossing pancakes

Each year MPs raise money for charity by racing around a race track flipping pancakes in a frying pan!

Now in it's 15th year, the annual Pancake Race sees teams of Lords, MPs and political journalists racing around a track, tossing pancakes in a frying pan.

The race which raises money for the Rehab - a charity for people with disabilities, takes place every Shrove Tuesday besides the Houses of Parliament.

The Lords, MPs battle it out to become the winners of the Parliamentary Pancake Race Magnificent Tin Cup.

Last year's face was won by the Lord's team, but they were beaten by the MPs this year.
