Riverside flowers

I don't know what these flowers are called but there are loads of them growing at the side of the river and I think they're beautiful. There are pink ones but a few white ones as well.
Lovely capture and dof.

Beautifully captured Rosie - but I m sorry to disappoint you in the fact that this is one of the most invasive weed species ,introduced to this country in the 1800's It is the Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera)
Quote -- H B has rapidly become one of UK's most widespread invasive weed species , colonising river-banks ,waste-land ,damp-woodland ,railways ,and roadways .It reaches well over head high and is a major weed problem .UK's environmental agency estimates it wold cost £300million pounds to eradicate this weed from the UK !!

Reading Beryl Lloyd’s post this sounds like our kudzu or possibly bindweed. It is still a pretty flower.

@beryl Thanks for the ID. I couldn't remember what it was and it's a shame that it's a pest because it does look quite pretty
