The party atmosphere took hold of west London again as the main parade of the Notting Hill Carnival took place on its second day. Colourful costumes, dancing and music filled the streets of west London for Europe's biggest street party's children's day on Sunday, and the spectacle continued throughout Monday.

The three-and-a-half-mile route across west London starts near Westbourne Park tube station, down Chepstow Road to Westbourne Grove and then up to Ladbroke Grove, looping down Kensal Road back to Westbourne Park. You can track the parade’s progress on the official map.

Revellers, dancers and musicians filled the streets of west London on Monday for the annual Notting Hill carnival, one of the world's largest street parties that, despite its cultural prominence, has struggled with funding challenges.
