A carnival atmosphere filled Spalding town centre as the floats and bands made their way back through.

Thousands of people crowded into Hall Place and Market Place to enjoy Spalding Flower Parade.

Here are a selection of some of the pictures taken by our photographer Chris Lowndes from his perch in Hall Place.
