Mainz, Germany. 12th Feb, 2018. The last float in the parade is traditional the 'Zugente' (parade duck), which is a word play on the German words for duck (Ente) and end (Ende). Around half a million people lined the streets of Mainz for the traditional Rose Monday Carnival Parade. The 9 km long parade with over 8,000 participants is one of the three large Rose Monday Carnival Parades in Germany. Credit: Michael Debets/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
