The west London carnival sees floats adorn the streets as revellers and organisers come together to celebrate Caribbean culture.
Party vibes are set to rumble through the streets of London as this year’s Notting Hill Carnival reaches its climax.
On Sunday evening the Metropolitan Police said the mood at the carnival had been “good-natured throughout the day” as they announced that a Section 60 order, providing officers with additional search powers, would be imposed overnight until 2am.The force described it as a “precautionary step” taken after talks with community representatives “in order to locate weapons so that we can prevent any violence taking place and keep carnival-goers safe”.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, who is leading the policing operation for the carnival, said in a statement: “The atmosphere was largely good natured and positive with the overwhelming majority of people having an enjoyable and safe experience. He continued: “Tackling violence against women and girls is a priority for the Met and it has been a focus of our event planning. We have officers out among the crowds during the event to identify offenders.
“Our policing operation continues as we move into Bank Holiday Monday and we will once again have officers deployed across the local area throughout what we expect to be a busy day with significant numbers of people attending.
