I couldn't get there but my eight year-old daughter did. She was in the Kids Choir, which performed in The Scoop by City Hall. Tower Bridge was opened specially when they performed their final number. Wish I could have been there. Here's an angle on another aspect of the festival from the London Daily Photo:
While it was as commercial as ever, at least this year there seemed more effort had been paid to finding arts and crafts, which was nice.
Here's another, from Miss Rosemary:
The sight that greeted us would bring tears of unchecked joy to any Shopaholic's eyes: about 87 stalls stuffed with jewelery, skirts, dresses, glass mosaics and general London paraphernalia all down the riverbank. Don't worry, Dad, I only spent money on food.
