Candid Street Portrait...... Notting Hill Carnival

Multicultural Britain

 

Britain today is a richly diverse society and culture with more than 60 million people from different racial, religious and cultural backgrounds. That diversity is the result of a history which has included invasion, expansion, empire and Commonwealth. Everything in modern Britain - from music and fashion to food and language - has been shaped by different ethnic communities, cultures and social groups.

 

Ethnic diversity has enriched British society. The different communities are part of the mainstream of contemporary British life, have helped build today’s vibrant Britain and have contributed to its economic, social, democratic and cultural development.

 

The Notting Hill Carnival, Europe’s biggest street festival is an annual grand event that has been held every year since 1965 on the streets of Notting Hill, London, UK in the month of August. It is led by members of the West Indian community, particularly the Trinidadian and Tobagonian British population or Trinis;, many of whom have lived in the area since the 1950s.
