The crowds turned out in numbers to cheer all those in the parade as it made its way from Anderson Park to Duncan Stewart Memorial Park or Jenny’s Park as it is best known to locals.

Star of the show was this year’s queen, St Joseph’s Primary School pupil Madison McCormack, who was crowned by Leigh Gillies.
