This year's Nativity scene at Southwark Cathedral is rather different to usual: the figures have no faces, arms or legs.
Deeply serious yet profoundly silly, this is quite unlike anything else you will see on stage.
A 52-year-old man has died after being hit by a van in Lambeth High Street on Tuesday afternoon.
