Notting Hill Carnival is taking place in west London to mark its 60th anniversary, with crowds gathering on the bank holiday weekend to enjoy a family day on the streets. Photos and live coverage show large numbers of attendees coming out to celebrate the event’s culture and atmosphere.
The outlets describe the Carnival as having grown from early local roots into a major public celebration that draws visitors on a large scale. The Financial Times notes the event’s origins as a form of resistance against racism, while other coverage emphasizes the present-day festivities, including the street performances and visual spectacle enjoyed by participants and spectators.
Taken together, the reporting focuses on both the scale of the anniversary celebrations and the historical context behind the event, as organisers and attendees mark six decades of culture in the same area of west London where the Carnival began.
