Dear Bo’nessians the world over,

My reign as your 116th Bo’ness Fair Queen has come to an end, and exciting preparations are now underway for the coronation ceremony of our Queen Elect Sophie.

I really want to thank my family and my friends for all the love and support that they have given me, and for always helping me and being there for me. I would like to thank the Bo’ness Fair Committee for all their time and guidance, and encouragement.

I want to thank all the local businesses that have supported me too. You all make the Fair Day even more exciting and special for our town.

I’ve realised that the Bo’ness Fair Day is discussed, planned, and the fundraising is done throughout the whole year. So much happens behind the scenes and I have enjoyed attending everything that I was invited along too. I promise to always be involved in the Bo’ness Fair Day, especially the fundraising events.

I have lots of special memories of my reign, I’ve had lots of fun, I got to collaborate on the design of my dresses, I loved the retinue rehearsals, I loved being invited to events, I have loved becoming friends with Ex Queen Lexi and Queen Elect Sophie, and I loved having a beautiful palace in my garden for my arch! I am really excited about wearing my Ex Queen dress this year.

I want to especially thank Mrs Diane McBride, I feel lucky that it was Diane who crowned me, Queen. I also want to thank my page boys Oliver and Zach, they did an amazing job, and they are the cutest and kindest wee boys who always give me a lovely cuddle when I see them.

Finally, I wish everyone a happy Fair Day, I know the sun will shine for everyone, but especially for Kinneil Primary School.

Hail Queen Sophie!

Hip Hip!

Love, Queen Ella
