Thousands of people have lined central London's streets for the New Year's Day Parade.
The event saw 8,000 performers dance their way from Green Park to the Palace of Westminster on Monday.
Giant inflatables, marching bands, cheerleaders, Stormtroopers, community groups and donkeys joined the the two-mile (3.2km) parade route.
Joe Bone, director of the parade said: "We always have a blast on New Year's Day."
Performers travel from around the world to take part in the display, with sequins and cultural dress proving a hit with the crowds.
The event has been taking place since 1987 but was cancelled in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic.
It returned to its full glory last year, with this year's display bringing a return of the show-stopping sparkles.
Crowds cheered as performers danced their way from Piccadilly, heading east to Piccadilly Circus, before moving south down Regent Street and St James's, passing Pall Mall, to the finish point at Westminster.
