Pearly Harvest Festival
Download© Licensed to London News Pictures. 25/09/2016. London, UK. Pearly Kings and Queens parade through the streets of city of London to St Mary Le Bow Church for a service of thanksgiving in London as they continue 140-year-old Pearly tradition on 25 September 2016 during Pearly Harvest Festival. Dressed in dark suits covered in hundreds of bright pearl buttons, the Pearly Kings and Queens of London follow the charity tradition of Henry Croft, an orphan who worked as a street sweeper in the market of Somers Town, London in the 19th century.
