The carnival has been held in London’s Notting Hill since the 1960s and has since spread to other locations, such as Kingston and Leeds.
Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street festival in Europe and over one million people has been expected to take part in the festivities this year.Cleaning up after a party is never fun but try cleaning up after Europe's biggest street party.
Notting Hill erupted into a full blaze of colour for a second day yesterday as thousands lined the streets for Carnival.
Performers wearing a vivid array of stunning costumes paraded through the roads under the glorious Bank Holiday sunshine.
But despite the party going off with a bang, the clean-up operation went into full swing last night to remove the mountains of rubbish left behind in west London at the end of the two-day celebrations.
