STORYLINE:
After five days of hard partying Brazil's famous carnival in Rio de Janeiro was brought to a close with the Grand Gala Ball on Tuesday.
Since the 1980s gay people from all over the world - in particular transvestites and drag queens - have arrived well before the start of the carnival to build up to the excitement of the ball.
This year Carnival revelers shrugged off a wave of violence in Rio and took their partying to the streets as Rio's renowned pre-Lenten bash ended with a final day of glittering samba parades.
An estimated 70,000 people crowded the city's Sambadrome on Tuesday - despite gang violence last week that terrorized the city.
