Thousands of people lined the streets to see the colourful procession of floats and bands head from Sandy Road into the town centre for the 12.15pm crowning of Gala Queen Claire-Jayne Rae in Market Square.

The family of Queen Claire-Jayne, an 11-year-old Crawforddyke Primary School pupil, looked on with immense pride as the youngster was given her coronation by crowning lady Linda Johnson.
