Old Father Thames
There’s been fairs along the Thames since the Frost Fairs of the 16th and 17th centuries. Today was a lot warmer but just as busy.
The Thames Festval runs alongside the South Bank in London from the old County Hall to Tower Bridge. Packed with music, performers, food and stalls it runs for two days pulling together all sections of the City in a final Autumn celebration.
This year, as overhead a Spitfire and Hurricane fly down to the opening of a new Battle of Britain war memorial, people wandered the river banks, made sandcastles, rode the fun fair and listened to music.
After dancing into the evening in sight of the Houses of Parliament people walked to the other bank to watch the night carnival and the fireworks.
