GLAZEBURY gala celebrated its 80th anniversary when local schoolgirl Kate Leather was crowned Gala Queen.
Prior to her crowning ceremony, she rode in an open carriageway along Warrington Road from the Raven Inn.
A pipe band played outside the church where she was crowned  by Mr and Mrs Mike Latchford.
The gala no longer features a procession because of road safety issues arising from the decision of the police to no
 longer control traffic during processions.
Attractions during the afternoon included children's entertainment, dance display and pet show, pipe and drum band and a rugby display. There was also be a fancy dress parade, African drum music, a bar and a variety of stalls.
