Lewisham People's Day, 2006
Now in its 22nd year, the Annual Lewisham People's Day is south east London's largest and longest running community festival.
Billed as a celebration of 'creative Lewisham', it's a bumper free day of craft markets, dance, music, djs, poetry and circus.

Once again, large Glastonbury-style flags were flapping all over the place at the Lewisham People's Day, Mountsfield Park, Catford.
They're made by a bloke called Angus Watt, in case you're interested.

Romani Rad dancers in action.

There was much a-flapping and swirling of dresses going on as the dancers ran through some lively gypsy music.

Insect Circus and Menagerie, with exhibits including wasp tamers, dancing snails and liberty beetles.
