More than 100 rescue dogs donned their Christmas jumpers for a special walk to Buckingham Palace in an annual festive parade.
The Rescue Dogs of London Christmas jumper parade walk, back for a second year, has become a popular tradition in London which raises funds for two rescue dog charities.
Money raised is donated to rescue dogs at ZEM Rescues, which saves dogs from Greece, and Slaughterhouse Survivors, which saves dogs hailing from China.
Images show dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds dressed in their Christmas best for the occasion as they march through the capital with their owners.
May Wong, 66, who co-organised Saturday's festivities with Teresa Keohane, said: 'We wanted to celebrate them, because dogs aren't just for Christmas but forever, and we wanted to get the message out to everyone.
'There are so many rescues who will never know what Christmas is. We need to give them a second chance.'
Below are some of the outstanding festive canine looks that graced the streets of London on Saturday afternoon.
