Clown around at the annual Grimaldi service this Sunday

Around 60 clowns dressed in full costume will gather to honour the Joseph Grimaldi (1778-1837) in Haggerston this Sunday. All are welcome to join the respectful but light-hearted church service which honours the king of the clowns but it's best to arrive early; those massive shoes make pew space more limited than usual.

See some of the best pics from last year's service:
