Thousands turn out for spectacular sun-drenched Newport Carnival
With summer well and truly on the way thousands of people have turned out to enjoy a sun-drenched Newport Carnival.
Families lined High Street for the highlight of the event – the spectacular traditional procession, all to the theme of 'Once Upon a Time', with fairytales, fantasy and superheroes.
The line-up included traditional dancers, jugglers, unicyclists, costumed heroes, a host of striking vehicles, from top sports cars and bygone classics, to a series of traditional tractors.
Stilt walkers, drummers, floats and children from local schools all brought colour and life to the route with some stunning costumes making for a true carnival spectacle.
Among the floats appearing were efforts from the forthcoming Newport Show, along with local schools and nurseries, while Newport's Fire Service also made an appearance, complete with a fire engine.
