Emmanuel, Thanks for leading a successful Meetup for the CCC members who attended.
Emmanuel managed to get the CCC group on to the left side of the bridge among the sheep and shepherds in spite of the guest list.
Here, by leaning over the barriers, we were able to capture some images of Caje Moniz and other driving their flock of sheep part way across London Bridge.
Earlier, proceedings were opened by Mary Berry, the well-known celebrity cook.
The Wool Fair near Monument with stands selling a range of woolen goods plus artisan street food & craft ales also offered further photo opportunities.
All together a good morning out.
