"We're gonna bust the place. It's always a pleasure to be here and we're gonna do our thing."More than a million people were expected to attend the festivities during the day.Carnival chair Ian Comfort said this year's event had so far been "spectacular and safe".On Monday evening, the Met Police said a total of 423 arrests had taken place during the two days of Carnival, but it had seen "far fewer incidents of serious violence than in recent years".There were two stabbings - one in Powis Terrace and one in Oxford Gardens - neither of which resulted in life-threatening injuries. Last year, eight people were stabbed during the Carnival.Comfort warned that funding was vital to keep it going every year, after writing to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy in June to request government support."It's important that bands get funding because if bands don't get funding, you don't get the costumes, you don't get a parade," he said."Without funding we couldn't make it safe and we've invested a lot of money this year in improving safety in terms of both the staffing and also the technological infrastructure for the Carnival."PA MediaCarnival has been running for more than 50 yearsReutersDrum beats were heard down the streets as the parade made progressMr Comfort added that more people needed to find out about the event's history."People need to look at why it was set up… Carnival brings people together. It's important it continues to bring people together as a show of unity," he said."If Carnival is a success, it's because everyone embraced it. It doesn't matter who they are, come and enjoy yourself."Following the Adult's Parade, Carnival continued with sound systems and live stages of music in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance Park and Powis Square.All major music and sound systems were switched off at 15:00 for a 72-second silence to commemorate the 72 lives lost in the Grenfell Tower fire, as well as those who have died at Carnival in recent years and Kelso Cochrane whose murder in 1959 became one of the catalysts for the event.PA MediaThe celebrations will continue long into the rest of the dayOn Monday morning, Kensington and Chelsea Council said an estimated 150 tonnes of rubbish was cleared after Sunday's festivities.The council expects 300 tonnes to be collected over the weekend, with 180 staff and 45 vehicles working overnight.The clean-up will continue on Monday night to prepare the area for normal business on Tuesday morning.
