Forth Gala Day 2009
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.
