Thousands of people have turned out in the rain to celebrate the Chinese New Year in central London. A parade, starting at Trafalgar Square, saw floats and beating drums head through the city towards Chinatown. About 100 world-renowned acts, including singers, dancers and musicians, performed in the square to welcome in the Year of the Snake. People were also treated to a Flying Lion Dance in front of the National Gallery. Chinatown hosted a number of activities with traditional craft stalls and food stands lining the streets. The day of activities will conclude with a firework display.
