Forth Gala Day 2015 Slideshow
Abbey was crowned at the White House in Recreation Park by Crowning Lady Karin Hynes, on a day which featured a spectacular procession of floats and individual entries.
“Abbey was fantastic,” said Forth Gala treasurer Julie Steele. “She had a lovely smile on her face all day and looked very happy.

Julie said that there had been an impressive motorised entry of four floats in the procession, well up on the previous year’s total of one. Eventual winner of the overall top prize was Dr Seuss, by Charlene Campbell and Friends of Braehead Village.
Abbey’s smartly dressed gala court was headed by Herald Andrew Rennie.
And a specially invited guest on gala day was chairman Alan Morton – a cousin of the Crowning Lady – who himself had been Herald way back in 1973.
