Despite poor weather, the people of Coalburn put on a very good show with lots of entries for the parade. Overnight rain cleared but drizzle periods continued finally giving way to brighter and sunny conditions for the crowning.
The pictures were taken at the start at Victoria Hall; in Coalburn Road near the school where the rain was worst (and rainspots on the lens ruined many pictures) and lastly in School Road in front of the Leisure Centre.
The best pictures were of the the crowning in the Leisure Centre car park when the weather was brighter. The Coalburn Heritage Society's exhibition in the Leisure Centre featured school photos from Coalburn and Bellfield Primary Schools and proved very popular..
