DANCERS and actors from Redbridge joined people from across the world at the New Year's Day parade in central London.
Children from The Palmerstone Stage School and adults from The Kenneth More Theatre, Newbury Park, helped create the borough's float, which was on the theme of the nursery rhyme Mary, Mary Quite Contrary.
One of the organisers from the theatre, Robert Jackson, said: “The children were thrilled to be involved with the New Year's Day parade and all loved being dressed as pretty maids and cockle shells.”
The volunteers from the borough collected money for the borough's branch of the Alzheimer's Society and and The Dream Factory, based in Hainault, chosen by the deputy mayor of Redbridge, Ruth Clark.
More than 10,000 performers from 20 countries also joined the parade, which is in its 25th year.
