1.
Well, the heavens opened on the Notting Hill Carnival today.
2.
But everyone stoically – Britishly – remained resolutely chipper in the face of the bad weather.
3.
These drummers clearly thought a little rain never hurt anyone.
4.
This lady: a shining symbol of British indomitability.
5.
This float: damp but delightful.
6.
This lady: half-glam, half-utilitarian, and ALL BRILLIANT.
7.
This brave soul: unflappable during the downpour.
8.
These ladies: soaked but still smiling.
9.
These ladies: drenched from their feathers to their silver boots, and LOVING IT.
10.
These police...people: damp but not defeated.
11.
In all, everyone seemed to have a wonderful time despite the plummeting temperatures and rain-soaked streets.
12.
I mean, look at this chap.
13.
Well, almost everyone.
Nice try, rain. You can fall if you like but we'll keep dancing.
Anything else just wouldn't be British.
