Colombian tall ship ARC Gloria visits the Pool of London
Hundreds of people - many waving Colombian flags - lined the banks of the Thames on Sunday night to watch the flagship of the Colombian navy pass through Tower Bridge.
Tall ship ARC Gloria was last seen the Pool of London in 2011.
This latest visit was the culmination of the Colombia Day event held in Potters Fields Park on Sunday as part of the Totally Thames festival.
The event included music, craft stalls and food and drink. Several Southwark-based Latin American businesses – such as La Bodeguita at Elephant & Castle – took part in the festivities.
