Notting Hill provided suitably sizzling conditions for the annual carnival in temperatures that set a record for the event which celebrates Caribbean countries.

Revellers were kept supplied with plenty of water to drink and to spray over themselves in baking conditions.

The ornate costumes provided a splash of colour on the streets of London while there was a pause to remember the Grenfell Tower tragedy at the tower block which is close to the carnival route.
