But unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic has put paid to organisers’ plans and the children of Bowhouse Primary, who were selected as the 2020 retinue, will now have to wait until next year for their big day.

We couldn’t let the third Saturday in June pass without marking the day, so we’ve taken a step back in time to bring you some of the images taken by our photographer at the event in 2010.

Recognise anyone?
