Apart from the Champions League and the first sun in a while, London saw the Vyshyvanka Mega March, which celebrates Ukrainian culture, this bank holiday weekend. Vyshyvanka is the traditional Ukrainian clothing which contains Ukrainian ethnic embroidery (the shirts that everyone wears). After gathering at Trafalgar Square to sing the Ukrainian national anthem the crowd (we estimate 100-200 people) marched via the Mall to Buckingham Palace for a photo shoot. Lots of kids. Lots of colours. Lots of happiness. Very pretty.

Tired. And the march hasn't even started yet.
Flowers.
Laughter.
Photographers.
