AN image of beaming bride Kelly Burley riding a horse on honeymoon in Mexico is the winning entry in the Evening Press Holiday Hotshots competition.

Husband Keith, from Eastern Terrace, Heworth, took the picture during a riding trip. The couple have won a Shearings holiday to Scotland.

Kelly said: "I'm very surprised we've won - it's brilliant. We recently got quite a good camera so maybe that had something to do with it."

This year's contest has proved the most popular ever.

Picture editor Martin Oates, who judged the competition, said: "The winning image was exactly what we were looking for."
