The crowning ceremony took place on Friday morning in front of a large crowd in Glebe Park.
The rain of the Fair E’en had eased but the day started off with blustery conditions and a few sprinklings. However, that didn’t detract from the excitement of seeing all the youngsters in their beautiful gowns and costumes.
Crowning Lady Diane McBride carried out the special role of placing the crown on the Deanburn pupil as everyone cheered Queen Ella.
There was the usual exciting routines from the school presentees before the process for the Royal Command Performance in the Douglas Park.
The arches throughout the town were the usual excellent standard – see more here
