Kate Bush tribute held on 'Wuthering Heights Day'

Crimson-clad Kate Bush fans turned out to re-enact the singers Wuthering Heights video

A government minister was among dozens of women in Birmingham who took part in an event celebrating writer Emily Brontë and singer Kate Bush.

The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever also raised funds for women's charities as the group joined thousands of people across the world recreating the video to Bush's 1978 song Wuthering Heights.

Birmingham's inaugural event earlier was organised by The Heath Bookshop, in King's Heath.

The proceedings were opened by Home Office minister and Birmingham Yardley MP Jess Phillips.

Charities set to benefit from the event include Anawim - Birmingham's Centre for Women and WE:ARE (Women's Empowerment And Recovery Educators).

Shop owner Claire Dawes said it was a "great event" to put on "as the local community support the many arts events that happen here and always support charity events."

The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever events have previously taken place in locations such as Sydney, Copenhagen, Berlin, Folkestone, and Preston.

For the first time this year the event was set to take place on moorland on Penistone Hill, not far from the famous Brontë sister's home in Haworth.
