A display of 800 school bags on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral, laid by WaterAid as a reminder of the number of young children who die every day because of dirty water and poor sanitation before they reach school age. On the bags in the front row are the names of some of those children including nine-month-old Arena from Madagascar, and five-year-old Jennifer from Zambia
