Notting Hill Carnival begins with burst of colour

The Notting Hill Carnival kicks off with a burst of color and sound, as musicians and dancers in bright costumes take to the streets for the children's parade. Over a million attendees are expected to enjoy the festivities over the Bank Holiday weekend. The event honors tradition through J'ouvert celebrations, live music stages, and sound systems rooted in Jamaican culture, with a 72-second silence held to remember lives lost, including in the Grenfell Tower fire.
