School children show heart for poor in London march

Hundreds of secondary school children and sixth form students walked through the capital on Wednesday to raise funds for Catholic Children's Society's work with vulnerable children.

The school children, who came from all over the capital, walked from Hyde Park Corner to Westminster Cathedral for the "Walk a Mile in Their Shoes" event.

The walk concluded with an ecumenical service at Westminster Cathedral, presided over by Monsignor Seamus O’Boyle, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Westminster.

Many of the 400 children taking part were involved in music and dance performances in the cathedral.

The “Walk a Mile in Their Shoes” also marked this year's 150th anniversary of the Catholic Children's Society's work with children in London.
