Thousands watch elaborate carnival cart procession
Rock shows, Del Boy and his three-wheeler from Only Fools and Horses, and a circus big top were among the themes showcased during a spectacular illuminated carnival procession.
Thousands of people watched the event in Bridgwater, Somerset, where clubs spend the entire year preparing carts for the show.
Dan Prosser from the Renegades Carnival Club said the preparations were "more like a lifestyle than just a hobby," adding his non-carnival friends think his devotion to the event is "absolutely nuts".
The carnival ended with 210 people - including local MP Sir Ashley Fox - taking part in squibbing, where a large firework, strapped to a solid block of wood on the end of a pole, is lit.
