TOTTON went carnival crazy as globe-trotting revellers managed to go “around the world” in 80 minutes.

That was about the time it took the floats took to travel from Calmore Industrial Estate to Eling Recreation Ground, where a funfair and other attractions were waiting to entertain the crowds.

Hundreds of residents lined the streets to watch as members of the Knights Templar mingled with characters from Star Wars and other blockbusters.

The theme of this year’s carnival was Around the World, which enabled the town to portray a raft of different cultures as well as providing plenty of scope for creative costumes and floats.
