Up to two million people took to the streets of west London for 2023's Notting Hill Carnival — a Caribbean extravaganza of sound systems, costumes, colour... and enterprising locals flogging booze and toilet facilities.

Photographer Hollin Jones was there to capture it in these images: relive the magic, or see what you missed out on.
