Following Julian Russell's pictures of Shanklin Carnival in 1972, many people commented on what they remembered about the Isle of Wight's famous carnivals.
Lynne Young recalled when the holiday camps used to put in floats and some even came over from the mainland.
Chris Rogers said: "I used to play drum in the 1st Sandown and Lake Boy's Brigade band and I attended the majority of the Island carnivals, including the floodlit / torchlight processions.
"For the torchlight ones, we had to pin Christmas tree lights on to our uniforms and have the large radio batteries in our pockets to power them."
