Last Saturday I went to my first ever St Paul's Carnival, the huge party representing the best of African Caribbean culture, diversity and creativity in Bristol. Back in the city after a three-year absence, it was it's 50th celebration since the first carnival in 1968. 

With the sunshine blazing, thousands of people filled the streets with colour and cheer, music and dance bringing the community together. What an amazing day. Big Bristol love xx
