PLENTY of floats entered this year’s Liphook Carnival.
The carnival was held in Liphook on Saturday evening and, as usual, vehicles and walkers took part in a procession through the village.
Liphook Carnival committee chairman Karen Feeney said: “Although the procession was shorter than it has been in previous years, there was still plenty of lights, colour and fantastic effort put into the floats, push and pull and walkers’ categories.
“The crowds were amazing and seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.”
