Hornsey Carnival Parade...hard to find anything to say about this strikingly bizarre event, featuring majorettes, flagwavers from Koblenz, robotically-waving fixed-grin beauty queens from various outlying boroughs, and many patently insane people driving strangely dressed-up motor vehicles very slowly past bemused locals. A failed attempt to bring the spirit of 50s America to Crouch End? Certainly Rio need not worry unduly.

I think it was a lovely well established event - did you know that this is run by a voluntary organisation who give the proceeds to various local charities, shame few more people arent more charity minded, and appreciate a lot of hard work !
