Titchfield Carnival is a long-standing cultural community event which has been run by the Titchfield Bonfire Boys Society since 1880.

The carnival saw two processions of floats and fancy dress walkers, one at 3pm and one at 6.45pm, a funfair and the lighting of a beacon on Barry’s Meadow.

Lily Mae Hands was crowned the carnival princess by Fareham MP Suella Fernandes.

Organiser Kate Scott said: ‘It’s been a great show, We had more than 20 floats and over 80 classic cars in the cavalcade. There’s been good crowds and good times.’

The non-profit-making event also raised funds for a range of good causes including the Community Luncheon Club, Titchfield Primary School and the Sea Scouts.

The fourth annual zombie walk also took place on Saturday. For more go to facebook.com/TitchfieldCarnival
