Preston’s Caribbean Carnival was back with a bang on Sunday.

Having been knocked off course by the Covid pandemic, the carnival’s 48th running finally took place this weekend.

Sunday’s colourful procession was followed by a West Indian-themed family fun day on Moor Park.

Saturday had seen the park pay host to the ‘One Park - Living Legends’ reggae concert making it a full weekend of calypso fun.

Photographers Martin Bostock and Julian Brown were out and about for us this weekend.
