Children banged on drums and pedalled for smoothies as a community joined together for its annual festival.

Around 500 people turned up to enjoy a free, family day out at the North Harrow Festival at the weekend.

Students of St John Fisher School and Nower Hill High School put on a number of performances, along with sets from the Dhol2Dhol Drummers and Merrydowners Morris dancers.

The festival was opened by Harrow mayor Councillor Krishna Suresh, accompanied by the mayoress, who both later visited art and science exhibitions from the students.

Families were able to browse a number of stalls that were manned by organisations including churches, Harrow Mencap, Harrow Association of Disabled people and the Harrow Museum.

The Met Police provide free bike repairs and security marking along with organising the smoothie bike, which people had to pedal to make themselves smoothies.
