THE streets of Wellington were lit up tonight as the annual Carnival procession made its way through the town.

Hundreds of spectators turned out to watch the colourful cavalcade of floats, which set off from Rockwell Green at 7.30pm.

The event marked the start of this year’s carnival circuit, which moves on to Ilminster next week.

For a full run down of all the excitement, be sure to buy next Thursday's Somerset County Gazette.
