CARNIVAL goers turned Sandown into a sea of colour on Wednesday as its main procession paraded through the town.
Crowds lined the streets to cheer on the participants, as families played a big part in the this year's celebrations, with many joining forces to take part.
They included a group who created Sandown Safari, dubbing themselves Sandown's Finest and the Abe and Taylor families, who turned themselves into gothic fairies.
