Oxford's Cowley Road Carnival has taken place for the first time since the Covid pandemic.

Thousands of people attended the parade in the multicultural neighbourhood.

The event was last held in 2019 and did not take place last year due to funding issues and costs.

Large crowds turned out in fine weather to watch the colourful parade of drummers, dancers and roller-skaters.
