The "eccentric" tradition of herding sheep over the River Thames dates back hundreds of years.
It’s part of celebrations which began in 2013 to mark the medieval right to bring produce to market over the Thames without paying tolls. It’s also a way of celebrating the 45,000 sheep farmers in the UK.
Hollywood actor Damian Lewis joined more than 1,000 Freemen of the City who ushered their sheep along a historic trading route on Sunday.
