Notting Hill Carnival is the biggest carnival in the world, attracting more than a million people from across the country and all over the world.
But very few people know how it came to be and the meaning it holds for those who have grown up in the area.
For many, the carnival is simply a celebratory chance to drink, dance and be merry. But underneath the sounds of calypso and reggae, is a history of fighting for racial equality and the untold history of Caribbean people in Britain.
