Today is Pancake Day in the UK. Kerry and I celebrated by having buckwheat pancakes this morning for breakfast. At lunch, we wandered across Tower Bridge to the church next to the Tower of London.

All Hallows by the Tower had 16 teams racing for Pancake Day with the Russian Channel 1 filming the festivities too.

Teams of four run a relay race with a frying pan, flipping the pancake in the middle of the course. Most team members did this whilst running. The slick conditions made the sprinting even more difficult today.
