In pictures: Leigh Park carnival

Tina James, 40, of Hursley Road, Leigh Park, had brought along her three children.

Reese, three, Faith, nine and Maisie, two, were all sporting impressive outfits after their mum spent a week designing and crafting them.

Reese was Bobby Charlton, Faith was a spacewoman – in honour of Neil Armstrong – and Maisie was decked out in Woodstock hippy clothing.

Tina said: ‘We do it every year, we enjoy it.’

Cllr Beryl Francis added: ‘We always have a community event this time of the year, usually at Stockheath Common but we decided that this year we would have it in the precinct so that we could deal with bad weather.’
