Police presence at Notting hill carnival and the travelling generation

Hightened police presence aty Notting Hill Carnival and the travelling generation.

The Notting Hill carnival will see the highest number of police officers on duty in the event's 47-year history in the wake of the London riots. Double the number of officers that policed the Royal Wedding will be on duty at the carnival at the weekend, with the Met planning 20,000 shifts split over the two-day event. Are you worried about the carnival going ahead?

With so much coverage of the London riots on tv, radio and in newspapers, what did you tell your children about what was happening?

New research has revealed that four out of five 18-24 year olds travelled abroad an average if four times before the age of 16. This is in comparison to the baby boomer generation, 77% of whom never left the UK before 16. Is your son or daughter part of the generation that's travelling the world?
