WALK THIS WAY: Bexley's mayor and mayoress, councillors Brian and Aileen Beckwith, joined mayors from across London to recreate Dick Whittington's original walk 600 years ago from the Whittington Stone to the Mansion House.

They raised more than £500 for the mayor's charity appeal for Bexley's Parkinson's Disease Society.
