For a carnival atmosphere filled the air over the weekend, particularly as the annual procession along the roads.

Families lined the streets of the town on Sunday lunchtime as dozens of floats created by businesses and groups from the area brought a sea of colour and a wave of sound.

Setting off from Roy's car park at 1pm, the parade was greeted with cheers and waves as it passed by.

There were floats made up to look like pirate ships, another based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and complete with Oompa Loompas - as well as other colourful, imaginative costumes.

There were also drummers, musicians and dancers, as the procession made its way to the quayside, where the carnival fun continued throughout the day.
