Yesterday, I exercised my right (as a freeman of The City of London) to drive a herd of sheep across the River Thames.
It was in aid of @RedbridgeLive mayor @jonesbert's charitable campaign to raise funds for @ParkinsonsUK @HavenHouseCH and Mind.

Had a nice time with the friends of Valentines Mansion. Learned about the community groups that made Valentines mansion what it is today. Got shown a tour of the house and gardens and learned so much history. A real gem.
Lovely to meet the participants of the 5k run/walk for raising funds for Parkinson’s uk. Several thousands raised already. Especially pleased as this is one of the mayors chosen charities
