Scantily-clad revellers twerked in the streets and filmed each other grinding against one another during raunchy celebrations at Notting Hill Carnival.
Videos posted on social media showed festival-goers dancing provocatively in pairs or groups, with some bending over while others danced behind them.
The suggestive videos have received mixed comments online with some hitting out at the dancing as inappropriate, especially as the event attracts families and people of all ages.
But others defended party-goers for letting their hair down and ‘having fun’.
One commenting on one of the videos said: ‘This shouldn’t be allowed in front of families with children!’

Another sarcastically wrote: ‘Looks like a lovely place to take the family.’
‘What a lovely family friendly Notting hill carnival eh?! Sorry, I’m disgusted. Call me a stuffy,’ one wrote.
But others were quick to defend revellers for having fun.
‘There is nothing wrong with this… its people celebrating and dancing in carnival,’ one said.
The videos emerged as the Metropolitan Police said that the final day of Notting Hill carnival was ‘marred by serious violence’ after eight people were stabbed in one night.
Detectives had praised the ‘positive’ and ‘good-natured’ atmosphere across the weekend but officers were forced into action after the carnival descended into violence on Bank Holiday Monday.
Police said that a 29-year-old man is in a critical condition after he was stabbed in Warfield Road, just off Harrow Road, shortly after 9pm. However, in the lead up to that incident, there were several other stabbings, while one officer was bitten.
A 19-year-old man was stabbed in Ladbroke Grove shortly before 8pm and remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Meanwhile, six other men aged 18, 19, 20, 25, 28 and 40 were stabbed in separate incidents. They sustained non life-threatening injuries.

The Met said they made a total of 275 arrests across the two days. On Sunday, there were 110 arrests for offences including possession of offensive weapons, assaults including on police officers, possession of drugs and sexual offences.
One man sustained a non-life changing slash wound but turned down help from the emergency services.
Officers also acted quickly to intercept a group who was in the possession of a firearm. They seized the weapon and arrested a man.
On Monday there were a further 165 arrests for a similar range of offences. Police also revealed there were further assaults on cops, including sexual assaults, while the officer who was bitten had to be treated in hospital.
It comes after two days of steel drums, barbecues and flamboyant headdresses, drew to a close last night.
Council teams are now swarming across west London to sweep up and tidy mounds of rubbish after two million revellers descended en masse for this year’s carnival which sadly turned ugly on the second day.
Hundreds of thousands of partygoers massed in Kensington for a sunny ‘carnival climax’ yesterday, which saw the adults’ parade kick off in the morning before a feast of music took over the streets.
