Bristol celebrated its diversity and Caribbean history and culture at St Paul's carnival, on 6 July.
The Carnival was created in 1968 in St Pauls by the members of the community, arrived in the area from the 1950s. It is running for the 51st year.
It has been a hotbed for Bristol's sound system culture since the 1970s, especially in and around pubs like the Star and Garter, with a boom in the early 1980s that led to the music scene we know today.
