Pi late sin struct or Julian a Campos poses in her carnival costume in Notting Hill, London, on what would have been the weekend of the Notting Hill Carnival, after the 2020 carnival was cancelled due to the coronaviru­s pandemic, with events being streamed online. Despite organisers warning people to stay off the streets, dozens of protesters gathered outside Notting Hill Tube station in west London for the Million People March in protest against systemic racism, which is taking place in lieu of this year’s carnival. Demonstrat­ors also lay down in the road outside the Tube station, blocking traffic.
