Mattie the Clown, Grimaldi Commemorative Cake
Mattie the Clown (before he's applied make-up) with the annual commemorative cake baked in Grimaldi's honour shortly before the 72nd Annual Clown Church Service at All Saints' Haggerston Church, Hackney, London, United Kingdom.
The service, which has been an annual tradition since 1946, is held in memory of Joseph 'Clown Joey' Grimaldi (1778-1837), the most celebrated English clown who was born and performed in London.
The unique church service is held on the first Sunday of each February and a wreath is laid in Grimaldi's honour.
