The crowning ceremony went off without a hitch and, unusually, without a drop of rain. Shame the fair didn't see fit to cease their rides during the course of the crowning making the speeches a little difficult to hear. It turns out I wasn't the official photographer; Ian Lowe was. He must have been as confused as I was to see me taking photos as well.
Congratulations to Queen Robyn, Princess Beth and Rosebud Keira. Also well done to the retiring Royalty: Queen Annie, Princess Josie and Rosebud Holly.
Mention should also be made of the Retinue which comprised around forty or so Hayfield children, and the visiting Royalty which numbered around the same.
