Notting Hill Carnival

Tomorrow sees the opening of The Notting Hill Carnival in west London. This is Europe's largest street festival, two days of ear-splitting noise, floats, food and dazzling costumes. Some of the flashier outfits cost thousands of pounds and are works of art in themselves. The weather forecast is good for Sunday, which is Children's Day, but wet for Bank Holiday Monday, which is Adults Day. CLICK for the official website.
