Harvest Festival Is Celebrated By London's Pearly Kings And Queens

LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 25: The Pearly King of Mile End waves as he processes towards the Church of St Mary-le-Bow on September 25, 2016 in London, England. The Harvest Festival features dancing and entertainment by participants in traditional costumes and concludes with a service at St Mary-le-Bow Church, home of the renowned Bow Bells. Dressing as a Pearly King or Queen, by wearing clothes adorned with pearl buttons, originated in the 19th century when London street sweeper Henry Croft decorated his uniform and began collecting money for charity.
