Shoppers posed for selfies with a pair of stilt-walking mermaids at Hounslow's Treaty Centre yesterday (Tuesday, August 12).

The towering sea nymphs made a big splash as crowds lined up to meet them during the afternoon at the shopping complex in Hounslow High Street.

Youngsters also got the chance to make sea creatures on a smaller scale at an underwater-themed craft workshop during the day.

The free fun was the latest in a series of Treaty Tuesday summer holiday events at the shopping centre, which continues next week with Punch & Judy shows at 12.30pm, 2pm and 3pm.

Earlier this summer, world record-breaking circus performers Hoop La La wowed shoppers with their amazing hula-hooping skills.
