The incident in lower Manhattan where a truck rammed into pedestrians and cyclists, leaving eight killed and 11 wounded, didn't stop New Yorkers from taking part in the annual Halloween parade.

Thousands of people descended in Manhattan's West Village wearing scary, theatrical costumes, in a show of defiance and solidarity with the victims.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo walked the parade route together, greeting parade-goers in one of the biggest street festivals in the U.S.

Here's a selection of the best pics from the parade:
