St George's Day festival, Trafalgar Square

The square goes green for England's patron saint.

The patron saint of England was celebrated a couple of days early in London this year, with Trafalgar Square hosting a garden-themed St George's Day Festival.

The square basked in beautiful April sunshine with the event featuring pop-up gardening installations, Grow Your Own exhibits and floral art, plus free concerts on an ornamental bandstand.

The Mayor of London teamed up with award-winning horticulturist Sarah Eberle to create what was billed as a 'central London oasis,' with the square being filled with greenery.

I think I'd prefer it if it always looked this way.

Normally seen clogging up tourist-swollen pavements around Covent Garden and the South Bank, several 'human statues' were in attendance around the square.

I'm not sure which is the bigger mystery: why anyone would want to do this in the first place, or why people give them money for doing it.

Mind you, I did rather like this outfit.
