The event kicked off at 1.30pm on Saturday with a procession led by the morris dancers and Pilling Brass Band.

The band was followed by retiring queen Niamh McShannon and new queen Louise Ashton. The nine-year-old Kirkland and Catterall Primary School was a rosebud to Catterall queen Grace Piela-Kirby in 2009 and has also taken part on floats.
