Notting Hill Carnival revellers in pictures

Europe’s biggest carnival, the Notting Hill carnival, is exhilarating to say the least. The parades, floats, sound systems and costumes all combine in a fun way to make this carnival a great way to spend the last bank holiday weekend in London.

Away from the stereotypical paraphernalia is the one carnival ingredient that is essential to every carnival. The people. Ordinary people from all walks of life and all parts of the world congregate to feast their eyes on performances, to dance and to partake in the delights of mostly Caribbean food. The photos below pay homage to the Notting Hill Carnival revellers in as they pose for selfies, gawp at others or dance away.
