1st February 2015.
All Saints Church, Haggerston, London.
The annual service in which around 30 clowns, dressed in full costume, gather to honour the king of the clowns, Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837). The clowns’ service has been held in London since 1947, originally at St James’s on Pentonville Road, where Grimaldi is buried, until the church was gutted by fire in 1959. Children get to participate in one of the more moving parts of the day, when they carry a candle for each of the clowns who had laughed their last in the past year.

All Saints Church, Haggerston London. Last performed 2018 pre Covod. At least 10 have passed on since. More photographers than clowns this year I think. Some rude ones amongst them....the sort with 4 cameras around their necks AND big bags on their backs. I actually spun one around like a top as be barged in front of me and almost knocked my camera from my hands, Clowns are no longer a laughing matter.....
when we got there the line was out the door, but it didnt take too long to get seated. the wait to get our pizzas while they were cleaning the ovens - that hurt! (yes, that's pizzaS!)

One day after work, we decided to walk over the brooklyn bridge and head over to the famous grimaldi's to see what all the hype is about. there was a long wait to get inside.
