Pan Diva is a performer and part of the Notting Hill Carnival advisory council. <\/p>\n

She’s been so busy this Carnival that she made the finishing touches to her own outfit this morning – not that you can tell.<\/p>\n

Pan is keeping an eye out for her daughter, who is performing at today’s parade with the Flagz Mas Band. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a family affair – yesterday she was at the parade with her grandchildren, who were playing their first and second Carnivals. Pan’s auntie was one of the first Carnival queens, she tells us. <\/p>\n

“It’s really important to pass the baton, if we want there to be longevity to the culture aspect of it,” Pan says. <\/p>\n

“I feel like I was born in it… it’s in my DNA,” she adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Carnival is in my DNA,’ performer and organiser sayspublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 15:14 BST Kethaki MasilamaniReporting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-91993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
