These images have a general theme "parades in London"... New Years Day (held in central London on 1st Jan believe it or not), Chinese New Year and St Patrick's Day (held in London not necessarily on 17th March but the nearest Sunday). Hopefully I'll add to these later on with some Notting Hill Carnival images .... I've now done this - on a separate page - follow the Carnival link above to have a look. In 2010 the London New Year Parade reversed its traditional route, beginning near Berkeley Square and finishing at Big Ben. The pictures in the bottom row were taken as the participants prepared to start.
