The Flintstones, the cast of the Wizard of Oz and Postman Pat came together on the streets of Abbeytown today.

Despite a brief shower as the procession set off on its route, spirits remained high for the annual event.

Floats made their way along the B5302, through the village, passing Holm Cultram Abbey School and the methodist chapel.

The carnival featured an array of costumes, with people of all ages taking part.

Organiser Emma Bennett said: "It's great for the children. I think they really like getting dressed up.

"We do it every year and we have people come over from Wigton to be part of it as well. It just brings the whole village together."
