As the Notting Hill Carnival enters its final day, police say they are pleased with how it has gone so far.
About 250,000 people took to the streets on Sunday - more than double the first day last year - to celebrate 40 years of the west London event.Scotland Yard said carnival was peaceful on Sunday despite 64 arrests and are predicting more than a million people will attend over the weekend.
There were 84 casualties on the first day - 55 of those were minor injuries.
About 10,500 officers have been on duty over the weekend in what remains the Met's biggest annual public order event.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen House said: "We are extremely pleased with how the carnival has gone so far.
"Those that have come to take part in children's day have been in extremely good spirits and have ensured that everyone enjoyed the day".
Freedom and Justice is the theme for this year's carnival - still one of the biggest street festivals in Europe.
Caribbean calypso music rings out of huge sound systems on a series of floats, many of which people dance around in glittering costumes.
Organisers hope the event will be bigger than last year when attendance figures fell to about 600,000, with up to a million people attending over the carnival weekend.
While the carnival is celebrating four decades, the roots of the event date back even further to the Abolition of Slavery Act in 1833 when the first Caribbean carnival was held in Trinidad.
Chris Mullard, chairman of the London Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, said: "Everyone is over the moon that it has kept going for 40 years - it has really made a big mark on the London cultural map".
