Wimbledon has the Wombles but the Isle of Dogs has Thames21 - a charity that is cleaning up our waterways.

More than 150 volunteers helped pull everything from Victorian ironwork to plastic bags out of the River Thames as part of a huge clean up last week.

The lowest tide for five years has revealed the amount of rubbish usually hidden by the waters of the Thames.

Included in the haul of shame were a shopping trolley and plastic bags, with one dating back to 1977.
