MORE than a thousand pounds was raised by generous residents at a Hampshire carnival.

Romsey Carnival saw thousands of people line the streets for the procession, while hundreds also attended the bed race and go kart.

A total of £1052.83 was raised on the day and the charities which will get a share of the money include Romsey Family Support Group and Romsey Air Cadets, Cupernham Nurture Group, Romsey Opportunity Group, Romsey Red Cross, Mountbatten Music Academy and the Allsorts Club.
