The weather may have been quintessentially British but the spirit at the Luton Carnival was truly global, as the town was taken over by music and dance from around the world.
Although the atmosphere was slightly dampened by the rain that had fallen all morning, huge crowds still turned out to watch the procession – a fantastic parade of floats and dancers led by professional samba outfit Paraiso, who had travelled from London for their debut performance in Luton.
