Steel bands welcome back Notting Hill Carnival

Children join the parade for the carnival’s Families and Children’s Day on Sunday

Steel pans heralded the return of one the largest annual street parties in the world this weekend.

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 got started on Saturday night with a steel band competition and continues across Sunday and Monday.

The celebration of Caribbean heritage, arts and culture has been running for more than 50 years.
