Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street party in Europe with more than two million people attending each year to follow the three-mile (5km) parade. Partygoers can expect an eclectic and dazzling parade showcasing the best of masquerade dancing, soca, calypso, steel bands and sound systems.

Revellers, dancers and musicians filled the streets of west London on Monday for the annual Notting Hill carnival, one of the world's largest street parties that, despite its cultural prominence, has struggled with funding challenges.
