CROWNING LADY SPEECH

I am honoured and delighted to have been asked to crown Breehann, our Gala Queen for this year. Having worked in the florist shop for some years it was always a privalege to be asked to do the bouquets for the Queen and her Court. As well as the Rainbow Fairies and the Escorts, the children are

looking forward to their special day. This would not happen without the committee and all the hard work and dedication they put in all year round. All we are looking for now is a dry and sunny day. Good luck to the Queen

and all the children involved.Sadie Middleton
