Saturday’s weather forecast is looking changeable but no amount of rain can dampen the mood at this weekend’s Notting Hill Carnival. Europe’s biggest street party is rolling into town with a message of diversity and inclusion at its heart.
Its roots have always been in Caribbean carnival, and it was initially founded following race riots in the west London neighbourhood in 1958. Of course, that powerful message has taken on greater significance given the events of the last few weeks, involving far-Right riots in parts of Britain.
