WORCESTER Carnival returned to the city centre in a riot of colour and sound.

From Samba bands to Scottish pipers and colourful floats to a sea of bicycles - the crowds were entertained as they lined the parade route.

Thousands of people lined the parade route to see city organisations, schools, dance troupes and theatre groups take part.

This year's theme was Our Colourful World which was interpreted in many different ways by the people taking part.

Here's some more pictures from the event.
