The event, which took place from August 27 to August 29, attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees to the streets of England’s capital and features live music, performances and entertainment. The carnival returned this year for the first time since 2019 due to the pandemic, but this year’s spectacle has been plagued by death, sexual assault and hundreds of arrests. When the carnival was last held in 2019, it saw over a million revelers attend. This year’s extravaganza had a smaller turnout. It is the first time that the carnival is back in full swing after the pandemic.

A further 35 arrests were classified as ‘other’ by officers, including 10 for possession of psychoactive substances, 7 for drink driving, 5 for criminal damage and one for theft and robbery. The Metropolitan Police said in a statement that the 21-year-old carnival-goer was fatally stabbed at 8pm on Monday in the streets of the upmarket neighborhood made famous by Hugh Grant’s 1999 rom-com ‘Notting Hill’ starring Julia Roberts. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but “despite the best efforts of medical personnel, he was pronounced dead,” police said. The annual carnival has been taking place in the streets of Notting Hill since 1966 and has served as a way of showing solidarity and strength in London’s growing Caribbean communities. This year’s event featured a host of up-and-coming DJs including Brown Sugar, Candy Love and Kay Wavey. Despite a heavy police presence in Notting Hill, a man was murdered even as lawlessness prevailed.

The Metropolitan Police have paid tribute to one of their most experienced and “loving” horses, Police Horse Sandown, a 14-year-old gelding gelding. “Officers rendered emergency aid but the horse sadly died at the scene,” police said. The horse has policed ”all sorts of events” across London since joining the force in 2015.
