Participants overcame the intermittent showers, wind and sunshine to make the day great fun.
This year’s parade, organised by Janice Thompson and her team, started in Trunch Lane and passed through the village.
Fiona Brown, of the Friends of Chapel St Leonards Carnival, said that in spite of the weather it was great fun.
She said: “The village green was busy with stall holders and visitors. and enjoyed by many people who braved the weather. Everyone showed fantastic spirit and resilience.”
