12 photos from the 2020 New Year's Day dip in Scarborough

Blue skies shone over Scarborough's South Bay for the first day of the new decade as brave residents took on the New Year's Day dip.

The cold temperatures of the North Sea didn't deter participants who charged into the waves for the event's 20th years. The dip raises money for charity, a quarter of which goes to the organisers, Scarborough Lions. Hundreds of hardy people took the plunge - see their efforts in these 12 photos.
