Notting Hill Carnival is one of the most exciting and colourful events in the world.
Even the rain didn’t dampen the party spirit as revellers dressed to the nines in vibrant costumes, dazzling headpieces and feathers.
The annual festival celebrates West Indian and black British culture and began in protest to race riots in Notting Hill and Nottingham in 1959.
That history is now remembered by taking to the streets and proudly showing off food, dance, and fashion from Afro Caribbean communities.
So if you missed out on all the fun over the Bank Holiday weekend, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Here are some of the best pictures from the spectacular scenes.
