Dia de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead) is seen as the Mexican version of Halloween. Traditional Dia de Muertos characters such as La Calavera Catrina, Monarch butterflies and sugar skulls, celebrate in the streets of Soho, London, November 1, 2019. /VCG Photo

People came together with Calavera painted faces (skeletons) for parades on the street. Calaveras (or skulls) are drawn with a smile, as if to laugh at death itself. /VCG Photo

The Mexican holiday, which remembers family members and loved ones who have passed on, is also a time for celebration, which has become a big hit over in the UK in recent years. /VCG Photo
