Can you see yourself in these parades or watching on from the roadside? Or maybe you recognise you someone who was?

Yesterday we brought you pictures from the Watford Carnival processions of 1963 and 1964 and today we move on to the parades over the next two years, as seen through the lens of keen photographer Derek Simmonds.

Derek's son-in-law Richard Massara posted this array of colourful carnival images on our nostalgia Facebook page, We grew up in Watford, after his wife Jackie kindly agreed for her late father's pictures to be shared.

Scroll down the page and relive some of the scenes from the carnival in 1965 and 1966 as the procession made its way through Watford.

Did you grow up in Watford and want to share your memories and pictures from your younger days. Join our new group via this link.
