DRIZZLY conditions may have dampened Forth Gala Day's 45-minute procession but the sun shone brightly for the crowning of Queen-elect Hannah Blacklaw.
Hundreds of spectators of all ages created a party atmosphere in the Recreation Park to see the 11-year-old Forth Primary School pupil's coronation by Crowning Lady Mary Beech.
"I thought it was a fantastic day," Gala secretary Frances McGurk said.
"The good weather helped ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves."
Queen Hannah landed the Queen's role six years after being a flower girl at Forth Gala.
And her 14-year-old sister Nicole was Forth Gala Queen in 2006!
The youngster, who also has a younger brother Scott, enjoys
dancing, netball and running.
For all the Forth Gala Day news and results, pick up a copy of this week's Carluke and Lanark Gazette which is in the shops now.
The pictures featured in our slideshow were taken by Gazette photographer Lindsay Addison.
They can be purchased from our offices in Carluke and Lanark, priced just £5 each, on 01555 772802 or 678792.
