In Pictures: London parade celebrates Chinese New Year
Crowds gathered in London’s Chinatown for a colourful parade celebrating Chinese New Year.
This year’s event marks the Year of the Pig.
Spectators were treated to traditional lion dances and martial arts displays – and many dressed up for the occasion.
Chinese New Year is a two-week festival with elements dating as far back as 2000BC.
