Notting Hill Carnival event start day 1

Hundreds of thousands of revellers took to the streets regardless of the impending downpour, which will see an inch of rain fall in some parts of the South East

The first day of the annual Notting Hill Carnival has come and gone. The day 1 event went well with its colorful display of costumes and outfits. See photos of the event as it happened after the cut. 


Britain will be lashed with a fortnight's worth of rain tomorrow with a Bank Holiday washout firmly on the cards, but the rain doesn't look likely to dampen spirits at Notting Hill carnival

Led by members of the British West Indian community, the party features steel bands, flamboyant costumes, colourful floats, Calypso music, Caribbean food and 38 sound systems\
