London stages Notting Hill Carnival, Europe's biggest street party, and plaque to pioneer Leslie Palmer


I checked several videos of the 2022 Notting Hill Carnival on Youtube. I have uploaded my favourites, either because they had lots of good dancing and costumes, or they gave useful information. 






Plaque to Leslie Palmer, pioneer, publicist.

After a death, assaults on police and several arrests, the cops have called for the event to be off the public street and into a more easily policed contained area with ticketing, private sponsors and security, such as in Hyde Park.
