Notting Hill Carnival is important to me because my steel band is involved in Notting Hill Carnival and we take part in events in the Notting Hill Carnival period, so, it’s very important to me.

Why is Carnival important to London?
It’s a culture and it’s spreading a culture, and that’s why it’s important to, not just London, but for the whole of the UK.

What are your hopes for Carnival?
I'm hoping that because there is no Carnival this year, because it is a virtual Carnival. That people will be watching it live in their homes, and we will get more involvement next year when people will want to come again.
