Police overseeing Europe's biggest street festival are hoping for a peaceful climax to the Notting Hill Carnival despite at least two stabbings.
Hundreds of thousands of revellers were flocking to the capital for the carnival's headline day.
Bank Holiday Monday sees a parade of floats and brightly-dressed performers snake their way through the streets of London as part of the annual Caribbean-inspired celebration.
An extra 2,000 police officers will be drafted in to support the event, bringing the total to 7,000.
Scotland Yard arrested 96 people on Sunday, mainly for drug and public order offences as well as robbery and assault.
Officers have been granted stop and search powers within the area where the carnival takes place, while the force has advised visitors to only use mobile phones when absolutely necessary.

FFS what benefit the public get from carnival, despite at least two stabbings and they say this peaceful way to celebrate?..Banned the shite game!!!
