COLOGNE COMES ALIVE AT ROSE MONDAY PARADE
Carnival festivities in Cologne reached their peak on Monday (8 FEB. 2016) with a colourful parade through the city.
Around a million people were expected to turn out to watch the traditional Rose Monday parade.
The parade took place despite heavy winds brought by low-pressure system "Ruzica".
On Sunday, city authorities banned horses, large puppets and flags for Monday's main procession because of a gale force winds warning.
The measures were introduced to ensure the traditional rose procession can take place despite the weather, the Carnival committee and city authorities said.
Authorities in Cologne have also placed a particular focus on security this year, to prevent a repeat of the string of robberies and sexual assaults that occurred in the city during New Year.
