We have had a great response from people sending in links to their photos and video captured from the spectators’ perspective on the day - please continue to send in your links and we will publish some of them here and on our facebook group Escola de Samba de Liverpool
We have been gathering together some of your videos of Liverpool Samba School on a Youtube playlist and as you can see, you lovely people have been very enthusiastic in recording the Rio style carnival and street party on Saturday!
Especially nice to show off to the world what Liverpool can do, it is also pretty good for us musicians and dancers to see the rest of the carnival parade, as we were caught up in our own sections 
We have been very proud to see the parade recorded in your colourful videos and photographs, as wherever people were standing along the city centre route, the energy and enthusiasm was amazing from both performers, and the crowds who gave us such a great response - dancing in the streets, cheering and clapping, a real slice of Rio carnaval in the heart of Liverpool!
This great little video was made by Aniket Parmar.

What a fabulous experience! Roger and Maeve and all the rest of the organisers need comending.
THIS is what the capital of culture is. I was involved in designing and helping make our costumes ‘Sirens of the Sea’, we danced our way through the streets of Liverpool with pride. Can’t wait til next year when the parade will be bigger and better.
Give them more funding Liverpool City Council!
Bravo!
