The 2021 City Of Culture opening ceremony took to the streets of Coventry to bring the celebrations to the heart of neighbourhoods across the city.

As the parade moved through the streets, residents were able to watch from their doorsteps as dancers from local communities performed alongside city legends and groups.

Along the route, to add to the party atmosphere, our large biodegradable confetti cannons created rainbow bursts of colour that looked stunning against the backdrop of dazzling costumes and clear blue skies.

And credit must go to @GMatouskova who captured this fabulous shot of confetti from outside her house.
