Went up to London yesterday for another walkabout and discovered the evening before that the Chinese New Year celebrations were being held in Chinatown over Saturday & Sunday, so thought I would pop along and check it out. However I had a moments inattention - having briefly played with a 1/4 black mist filter on the front of the camera, I forgot to remove it, and it was there for the whole of the day! 
I've never been to a Chinese New Year celebration before but listening to several who had, it seems that the procession was a bit disjointed and a bit of a poor show.
I found it interesting but it was just one of those days when very little seemed to turn out right, all that way up to London and very little to show for it.
Anyway, here's a selection from the day that might give you a little flavour of the procession.
