Armed with brollies and raincoats, Christians from all over Sutton, Cheam and Carshalton took to the streets on Good Friday to celebrate Easter.

"It's a blessing" said one very wet looking marcher, "God sends the rain as well as the sunshine", and rain it did. Despite appauling conditions, local Christians took to the streets determined to bear witness to their faith and celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago.

Certainly in Sutton, nothing seemed to dampen their spirits, as onlookers watched in almost disbelief as young and old walked from one end of Sutton High Street to the other in quiet procession behind a large wooden cross.

One passer-by was heard to say to her friend "That's what Easter is all about".

This is one the increasingly common occasions locally, when churches abandon the comfort of their pews and meet up with others from different denominations and different parts of town to worship together in unity.
