A llama has been spotted strutting its stuff on the streets of Soho.

The white lama, sporting a red tassled harness, was being led through central London on a lead by a female keeper.

The animal, nicknamed 'Larry the London Llama' on Twitter, was seen to go in the Soho office of a radio station.

It made an appearance on breakfast television this morning.
