Sun helps brighten a grand day for Tegan's coronation

Not only did Queen Tegan Berry enjoy a warm and sunny coronation in Zetland Park last Saturday afternoon, but her retinue, local youngsters and their family and friends also had a great day out without having to bother if they brought their umbrellas.

Bowhouse Primary School pupil Tegan (10) was crowned by 1957 Queen Betty Aitken following a stately procession along Kingseat Avenue and Abbots Road featuring Beancross, Moray, Sacred Heart and Bowhouse primary schools with music from Bo’ness and Carriden Brass Band and Alloa Bowmar, Denny and Dunipace, Camelon and Tulliallan pipe bands.

This year’s royal retinue was: Queen – Tegan Berry; maids of honour – Kate Temporal, Charlie Watmore; ladies in waiting – Brogan Buckham, Nicole Ferguson, Olivia Gourlay, Courtney Haston, Aliesha Sutherland, Caitlin Tamlin-Young, Jessica Thomson, Shannon Ure; courtier – Joshua Laing; herald – Tom Speirs; (Page Boys) Jay Muir, Tristan Sands; flower girl – Orla Leach.
