Pearly Kings and Queens (Pearlies).
Pearlies are the historic & famous charity in London. I enjoy knowing its history that Henry, the founder, picked up all those 'abandoned' pearl buttons from street and used it as helping less fortunate people and raised a big success. It is quite amazing that some people respect and keep the tradition or ritual thing which are representing London - so much unlike others who destroy the old and build the boring new, under the name of 'modernisation'.
Besides, the outfit design is highly notable and it really works although it is formed of very simple structure.
The White Stripes referred the Pearlies on their album Icky Thump released in 2007.
