The annual Lord Mayor’s balloon regatta raises funds and awareness for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. Almost fifty balloons took off from Battersea Park and sailed east, passing over Greenwich around about 6am.
The annual event is on standby for each Sunday in June and goes ahead on the first one when the weather conditions are right.
