TV celebrity Mary Berry had far more than the 'little lamb' of nursery rhymes to worry about when she lead 20 sheep across London Bridge.

The 82-year-old led the flock as part of the annual Great Sheep Drive, during which 600 of London's Freemen of the City make the most of their 800-year-old right to take animals over the bridge.

Ms Berry was made a Freeman of the City in 2014. The event raises money for the Lord Mayor's Appeal.

The ancient re-enactment is organised by the Worshipful Company of Woolmen as part of the annual Wool Fair.

London Bridge was once the city's only way across the river.
