Christmas revellers out and about in London despite COVID threat

Despite the anti-lockdown protests, there was also a lot of normal Christmas shopping going on in London on Saturday. The footage filmed on December 18 shows shoppers, street bands, performers in Santa costumes and musicians in Covent Garden. That's despite authorities warning over the new Omicron threat and the expectation of more strict COVID measures to come. The Mayor of London on Saturday declared a "major incident" due to the rapid spread of Omicron.
