With approximately ten thousand performers from all over the world due to take part, London’s New Year’s Day Parade will certainly welcome 2013 in style.

More than half a million spectators are expected to line the two-mile route to take in the sights of a variety of entertainment from 20 countries and 33 London boroughs.
Marching bands, cheerleaders, clowns, acrobats and more will form the parade, which is due to be broadcast live on the BBC and various overseas television stations including CNN and Fox News. Some notable participants include all the Queen’s horses, Heroes for Charity – Star Wars, Universal Dance Association, The London Pearly Kings and Queens Society and London 2012 Gamesmakers and Pandemonium Drummers. The full line-up can be viewed on the Parade’s website.
