- Story Text: More than 700,000 people from all over the world joined Europe's biggest street party in London on Monday (August 28) as the Notting Hill Carnival burst peacefully into a third day.
Thousands thronged the streets, singing and dancing as floats and revellers sashayed around the west London district.
Although there has been trouble between groups of youths and police in the past, the main problem facing police this year was preventing officers being swept up into the dancing.
There were only a few arrests up to dusk on Monday, most of them alcohol-related. There was also a small fire on one of the stalls, but this was quickly extinguished by the fire brigade.
The Notting Hill Carnival began in 1965 as a small gathering of West Indian immigrants celebrating their culture. Thirty years on,it is second only to the Rio Carnival in terms of size, the organisers claim.
