ONE of the last of the summer holiday events held in Erith town centre took a comical turn with the arrival of Mrs Back-to-Front.

She was at Riverside shopping centre to entertain the children with magic tricks, Punch and Judy and to show children how to turn balloons into weird and wonderful shapes and animals.

Over the summer, the centre, together with Bexley Council, has offered children street and urban dance sessions, a bohemian carnival, kite making, a puppet workshop and face painting to keep them entertained while parents did the shopping.
