Crowds of children enjoy Grangemouth Gala day held at Zetland Park in June 1971.

And this year was of course very special indeed, as the organisers crowned their 100th gala day queen.

Thanks to the hard work of all the organisers at this and all the other community events across the district thousands of youngsters, along with their families, have had a great time.

The sun shone on a packed Zetland Park as the crowds turned out for this important date.
