For those of you around the globe who still think we English are just too prim and proper. (you have obviously never been to The Backstreet Bar!) then make tracks to London’s East End this Sunday way before any of the Bars open.
It’s the 78th Annual Grimaldi Service at All Saints Church in Haggerston i.e. Clown Church You should be prepared to watch a motley crew of jokers parade down the aisle, blowing bubbles, spraying water out of plastic buttonholes, and making balloon poodles while they do readings. Anarchic as it sounds (and it is), there’s an oddly sober and respectable element to it all. The service is followed by a clown show and photo ops.
