Join the fun: Samba troupes, percussion bands and local groups all took part in the famous parade which has been running in Notting Hill for nearly fifty years 
Participants in their hundreds of thousands descended on the west London streets as they are turned up for Europe's largest street part. Performers wearing a vivid array of stunning costumes paraded through the streets under glorious Bank Holiday sunshine. It was a Caribbean party of dance, music, floats and food.
