Parent and child winners were Bruce and Alex Lockhart, of Melton Constable, while street race regulars Kevin Pitcher and his daughter Roseanna, 7, won the best overall category and Emma White, Ryan Nesbit and Adam Groom bagged first place in the

Thanking all those who helped organise the event, carnival chairman Stuart McClean said: 'It was fantastic, the sun was shining and the town was happy – albeit covered in water and flour!'
