Steel band championship of Notting Hill Carnival
The National Panorama Championship is being held in Hyde Park on the Saturday of the August Bank Holiday. Ten of the UK's top steel bands compete. Each arrives with the main part of its band on a lorry, which is driven up to the performance area. This photo is a general view with a band performing, CCTV images of it being shown on a big screen, and the audience having space to relax on the grass in the park.
