Francis, 56, from southwest Scotland with his Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Milo, sits on Oxford Street in London, Britain, 20 December 2018. Francis has been on the streets of London for eight years after losing his son and breaking up with his partner. “Shit happens in life” Francis says. “I'll be right here for Christmas”. London now accounts for a quarter of Britain's homeless. Some twenty five thousand people across the UK are facing Christmas on the street. (Photo by Andy Rain/EPA/EFE)
