London’s New Year’s Day Parade is<br />
celebrating the magic of the movies with<br />
a feast of free family entertainment for us<br />
all to enjoy.<br />
London is a city synonymous with film –<br />
once the epicentre of the industry in terms<br />
of production and talent and the iconic<br />
backdrop for so many major feature films.<br />
So whether you love Jurassic Park,<br />
Ghostbusters, The Italian Job, or a superhero<br />
or two – there is something for everyone at<br />
LNYDP 2017.<br />
London is a wonderful place at any time of year – but to my mind this city sparkles<br />
particularly brightly at Christmas and New Year.<br />
Thirty-one years on from its modest beginnings, London’s New Year’s Day Parade<br />
has become a great turn-of-year tradition with hundreds of thousands of people<br />
pouring in to the West End to marvel at the sights and sounds of our parade.<br />
So do enjoy every moment of this marvellous holiday time in London and<br />
remember that the very best is yet to come – on January 1st.<br />
Bring friends and family and be sure to secure your place along the route from<br />
Piccadilly, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, St James’s, Trafalgar Square, and<br />
Whitehall to Parliament Square.<br />
The fun starts at 12 noon.<br />
There may be a few grandstand tickets s<strong>til</strong>l available (for a really good view) at<br />
www.lnydp.com and do check out our terrific concert programme in some of<br />
London’s iconic musical venues.<br />
So may I take this opportunity to wish you a Very Merry Christmas – and assure<br />
you a Very Happy New Year.<br />
