At 6.30pm Dale Street will be filled with the sound of drums as the music of the Liverpool Carnival Company and Republic of Swing samba groups rings out from the Main Stage, heardling that the Rainbow Circus is coming into its final hour.

Liverpool poet Gerry Potter will perform his poem 'We Travel', as a rainbow sea of balloons are released into the sky in memory of lost friends.
