Notting Hill Carnival kicks off with the children’s parade

The streets of west London have been filled with colour and sound for the first day of the annual Notting Hill Carnival.

Musicians and dancers in bright costumes took to the tarmac for the children’s parade, as the largest street party in Europe got under way.

The day began with an explosion of colour as revellers met for J’ouvert at 06:00 BST ahead of the children’s parade, with the streets awash with bright paint and powder.

J’ouvert, which means “daybreak” or “opening of the day” in French Creole, marks the start of the Carnival celebrations across the Bank Holiday weekend.
