PEOPLE are still taking risks on ice at a popular beauty spot.

Our photographer snapped this picture of a man and young boy at Hollow Ponds, in Whipps Cross Road, Leytonstone yesterday.

The emergency services have repeatedly warned people not to walk on ice, and just before Christmas a girl had to be rescued at Hollow Ponds when she became stranded on an island there.

Hollow Ponds made national headlines during the cold snap in January last year when young children were pictured walking on thin ice there.
