Bands, floats, youth organisations, dancers and a host of weird and wonderful costumes were on show today (August 4) for the annual Margate carnival.
The parade, which started later than expected due to a broken down vehicle, started off at Palm Bay Avenue, travelled along the Esplanade past Bugsy’s Bowling, The Lido, The Winter Gardens and onto Fort Hill, past Margate Police Station and through The Piazza and Margate Soul Festival, towards the train station and onto the Royal Esplanade, Westbrook.
Crowds lined the route to cheer on the floats and all those also taking part on foot, including Westgate’s Wilfred Jenkins and , on his bike, Margate’s Maurice Morris.
