New Year's Day Parade, London

The New Year's Parade is a free event which has taken place in London each New Year's Day since 1987. More than 10,000 performers take part, helping to raise money for charity. There are marching bands and cheerleaders: many of these travel from the US to take part. There are also historic vehicles, animals, clowns and giant balloons.

These photos were taken at the parades in 2004 and 2003. For photos taken at the 2006 parade, see: Ideas/Album/NewYearsDayParade

GIANT INFLATABLES

The cats are cool

While the dogs fetch the paper ...

... and keep watch on the children

Smile!

Strike!

A little leprechaun in London?

CHEERLEADERS

We will ...

Rock you!

VEHICLES

Full steam ahead for the New Year

Has anyone got a light?

On your bike

Let's do the locomotive

Pretty pretty Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

CLOWNS

The umbrella man

Monkeying around

It's behind you!

MARCHING BANDS

COSTUMES

A BIG dress

Red Hot Mamas go shopping

Others prefer more traditional clothes

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

There's no man like a snowman

There's no business like show business

ANIMALS

From big shire horses ...

... to little donkeys

CHARITY

A Pearly King helps to collect donations for charity

Please give generously!
