The day began with an explosion of colour as revellers met for J'ouvert at 06:00 BST ahead of the children's parade, with the streets awash with bright paint and powder. J'ouvert, which means "daybreak" or "opening of the day" in French Creole, marks the start of the Carnival celebrations across the Bank Holiday weekend.

Party vibes are set to intensify on Monday as revellers flock to the Notting Hill Carnival for its final day. Colourful costumes, dancing and music filled the streets of west London for Europe’s biggest street party’s children’s day on Sunday and the spectacle will continue with the main parade on Monday.
