 | | Monday, 27 August, 2001, 19:04 GMT 20:04 UK In pictures: Notting Hill Carnival day two After a disappointing show due to the rain on day one of the 37th Notting Hill Carnival, sunshine lifted attendance for day two on Monday. West London rocked as estimated crowds of up to 800,000 braved the heat for a spectacular show of floats, music and dance. Despite the heavy police presence, Carnival organisers dubbed it the most "relaxed" in years.  Revellers were anxious to play down the police presence  The carnival features some 12,000 performers and more than 100 colourful floats  Parade participants in extravagant costumes wind through Notting Hill's narrow streets  Watchful eye: Police have erected temporary CCTV cameras to deter would-be troublemakers  And the result: a police officer examines CCTV images at New Scotland Yard  Sunshine brought out crowds estimated at around 800,000 strong  Some flamboyantly-dressed revellers were very glad of the sun | |
