One of the now hopefully annual highlights in NW3 is the return of the donkeys to Whitestone Pond.It's only the second year but it's a great start of a restored tradition.
Cllr Flick Rea (Culture @ Camden) was there to welcome them and also see the queue of local children.
It's amazing how many people mention the donkey rides as thing of the past - pass on the news that at least once a year we have them back...
The tradition of donkey rides here dates back to the 1820's and froma later victorian era when the local area as known as the 'seaside for people from the east end' - literally thousands of people would come for their weekend entertainment and day out.

Ed,
I thought you were supposed to avoid this type of photo. It's too easy to mock - "a meeting of Liberal PPCs" or "Cllr Flick greets some donkeys". You need to watch "Yes Minster" again...
