In pictures: Thousands gather to watch dominoes topple through Newbury town centre

Thousands of concrete breezeblocks tumbled through Newbury today (Saturday) in an epic spectacle.

Onlookers lined the streets to watch 4,500 giant dominoes wind their way through the town centre at 3pm this afternoon.

The trail began as the very first domino brick fell from the window of the Elephant Pub on a pre-arranged signal.

They then passed through The Kennet Centre, St Nicolas Church, and the Waterside Centre before culminating in an epic domino fall at Victoria Park.

The dominoes fell through crossing parks, buildings, a flat and the canal for the 20 minute long show.

Crowds cheered as the final brick fell at the Victoria Park pond, making a splash.

The event was held by Corn Exchange Newbury and 101 Outdoor Arts to mark Greenham Trust’s 25th anniversary.

Money raised will go to support young people in the local area aged 11 to 25 and every donation will be matched by Greenham Trust.
