Beloved alpacas Ben and Jerry posed for photos and enjoyed a special send-off on Sunday 20 February, after almost two decades in public service.

The pair are heading into retirement after 17 years at central London's Vauxhall City Farm.

But before they move to the countryside on 23 February, visitors were invited to say hi one last time and have photos taken with them.

During their long careers, Ben and Jerry starred in the Star Wars film The Force Awakens, rubbed shoulders with royalty and were featured on the BBC multiple times.

Beloved alpacas Ben and Jerry are about to leave Vauxhall City Farm as they retire after almost two decades in public service. Visitors to the farm are invited to be snapped with the alpacas before they move to the countryside on 23 February. Ben and Jerry starred in the Star Wars film, "rubbed shoulders" with Royalty and were featured on the BBC multiple times during their seventeen years on the farm in central London. Sunday, 20 February is a 'sustainable Sunday'. Alpacas leave almost no carbon footprint. Their wool is made up of fiber that produces products that are strong and durable. These products are also biodegradable meaning they can be decomposed. London, 20 February 2022 2:30pm #alpacas #BenAndJerry #VauxhallCityFarm #farewell #animals #pictures
