HAMPSHIRE residents came out in force to celebrate the Romsey Carnival.

The carnival saw a procession of floats dominate the town, starting at Romsey Industrial Estate and ending at The Hundred.

The procession started at 4.30pm and saw a sea of colour line the streets of Romsey.

Other features carnival lovers enjoyed included the Romsey Old Cadets and a Chinese dragon.

The event was sponsored by David Wilson Homes.

Karen Whittaker, a spokesperson for Romsey Carnival, said the carnival was “reinvigorated”.
