The world’s most famous secret agent may not have made an appearance at a street festival in Ilford - but 007's double did.

Visitors to Ilford town centre had the opportunity to get a snap with the 007 lookalike at InIlford High Road Festival on Saturday, October 2.

In addition to the Bond lookalike, who arrived in a trademark Aston Martin DB5, visitors soaked up live performances by musicians including singer-songwriter Sam Castell-Ward.

Other family-friendly entertainment included magicians, acrobats, dancers, a 'living red carpet' and art activities.
