Ramsgate’s carnival is likely to be the only place you will see Elmo, King Neptune and a clown in the same location.
Scores of floats were dressed up to make this year’s celebration a real feast for the eyes.
Leaving from Government Acre at 4pm on Sunday, the parade made its way through the town, with hundreds lining the streets for the annual spectacle.
