Movember is a fantastic fundraising initiative which supports men’s health causes such as the battle against prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.
And to help you get into the spirit of the occasion, here is a selection of moustache memories from years gone by – some from previous Movember fundraisers and others which were simply lovely retro reminders.
