Children’s joy at Notting Hill Carnival parade
1 min read
Children and their families have enjoyed one of the largest annual street parties in the world by taking part in their own parade.
Held in west London, about one million people are expected to attend this year’s Notting Hill Carnival, which runs across Sunday and Monday.
The party began with steel drums on Saturday evening, before Children and Families’ Day on Sunday.
The celebration of Caribbean heritage, arts and culture – which culminates in a huge Mas parade on Monday – has been running for more than 50 years.

Sheyi Martins-Allen, 36, has been going to carnivals since she was 10 years old and now brings her young family.
“I think it’s a really great way to celebrate black culture,” she said.
