Actor Damian Lewis participated in the London Sheep Drive, a revival of an ancient tradition, where hundreds of freemen drove sheep across the Thames, marking a centuries-old right.
Lewis expressed his joy at participating in this 'eccentric, very British day,' showcasing the importance of honoring traditions while also serving as a charity fundraising event.
Manny Cohen, Master Woolman, highlighted that the sheep-driving tradition has grown significantly in the past 15 years, illustrating a blend of heritage and contemporary charity efforts.
The event not only celebrates the historical rights of the freemen but also acts as a major charity fundraiser, reflecting the event's increasing popularity and significance.
