From the BBC:
Notting Hill Carnival has drawn to a close - with revellers enjoying a late spell of sunshine on Monday evening.
Notting Hill Carnival has drawn to a close - with revellers enjoying a late spell of sunshine on Monday evening.
The clouds and rain that marred Sunday's event were banished, to the delight of crowds.
Police made a total of 230 arrests for a variety of offences over the two days of the carnival, and British Transport Police arrested another 34.
The incidents included two stabbings, but police said overall the festival went "smoothly and to plan".
Two pit bull-type dogs and one Staffordshire-type animal were seized by officers.
Ch Insp Jo Edwards said the event was "marred by a small element".
She said: "Most carnival-goers had a fantastic time, with the large part of the Bank Holiday weekend passing without serious incident.
"For the fourth year there were no firearms incidents and reported crime fell by more than 31% compared to the same stage last year.
"However, as we have seen in previous years, last night saw some people determined to try and ruin it for others who simply wanted to enjoy a day out."
