Thousands watch street carnival

Tens of thousands of people have lined the streets of Bridgwater in Somerset to enjoy the town's annual illuminated carnival.

Dozens of brightly-lit floats were paraded around the streets in a display of colour, sound and movement.

The carnival, which is reputed to be the largest and best illuminated procession in the world, raises money for charity.

Last year just under £27,000 was collected.
