Chinese New Year 2015 in Soho, it was an even smaller parade, but very crowded. The stewards were few and police only one or two, which meant that the spectators (Everyone has a camera) surging round the marchers. Most of my pictures are enlargements to reduce those in the way. We came home early avoiding the entertainment in Trafalgar Square. Extra photo are under Soho above.
