A READER has shared their nostalgic pictures of the impressive floats created by a youth club for the city's annual carnival.
Do you recognise yourself aboard any of the floats which were created by Perdiswell Young People's Leisure Club?
Worcester News reader Shelley Smith shared these pictures which included the large house-shaped float which won best float but unfortunately got stuck under Foregate railway bridge.
She said: "Anyone remember having to make those endless flowers to stick on the side of the floats and one year we were coming along city walls road going round towards the cathedral when the driver threw a cigarette out of the window and some of the flowers catching fire and nearly setting the whole thing alight?
"Great times and very grateful to Phil Weston for starting this great club and for doing something we could all be a part of."
The pictures also brought back memories for other Worcester News readers of the carnivals of the past.
Ali Vinson said: "I used to live in the arboretum as a child, we all got together one year and created an arboretum float.
"We had a painting of Virks newsagents, a painting of the wall at Lansdowne park and a painting of the canal bridge.
"These were all things that made the Arbo. It was a real community effort, we all chipped in it was so much fun."
