BO'NESS CHILDREN'S FAIR
FESTIVAL |
|
The biggest day of the year
here in Bo'ness has come and
gone with one of the
greatest reliefs after the
weather we have had all
week. A spot was felt just
before the crowning as a
dark cloud went overhead but
10 minutes later you could
feel the heat as the sun
came out just before Erin
was crowned.
The crowning went of great
with the retinue and
presentees in immaculate
colours not forgetting the
fairies and flower girls
outfits which were bright
and sparkled in
the sun.
A Nervous Frank McGarry and
Marion McKay will be glad to
have got through their new
roll having some task to
fill the shoes of the
retired Douglas Snedden who
watched on from the guests
stand.
If you wish to send any your
pictures to the website
either arches or from today
were will welcome them all,
but on some occasions we
cannot upload them all.
