Pictures from Notting Hill on Bank Holiday Monday. I'm still rubbing the smoke out of my eyes.

London Underground
This Tshirt seemed to be the must-have item for revellers.

Lookout post
A little hard to see in all that smoke - cooking smoke, that is.

Hot coals
Carribean barbecues in action.

Wilfred
An elderly man sits it out for a bit.

Can't touch this?
Actually, he can, and he will.

Smoking ballerina
There was nothing very classical about her dancing style, though.

Somebody call security
So this is what they meant by "high visibility" policing.

Sharing a conversation
Note the cool earring.

Cool as coconuts
A bit of a rip-off, at two pounds fifty each.

Uncropped
In the reggae tent.

Boogie?
An alterior motive, perhaps, for this sudden lapse into break dance.

Miss Behaving
Bet she's Australian.

Hat hair
Wasn't this guy in Degrassi Junior High?

Piggy tails
A girl waits by the face painting in the more family-friendly part of town.

Head of hair...
...and a gold chain already.

Red, purple and green.
Katy indulges in some silliness.

Man in uniform
A policeman eases his way out of an awkward moment with a dancer.

Royal appearance
The Green Man... or Lady?

Nice Shots
Looks like a photographer's dream.

Looks a bit like Katoomba's Winter Magic festival...
only a lot more interesting while retaining the communal spirit. Seems like those Brits; er, Jamaicans... or maybe more correctly 'former colonials' know how to party! :) Looks like you had a good time capturing other folks' good time/s! Surely you got one of those reveller 'must-have' Tees? ;) :)
