VILLAGERS turned out to celebrate the return of the traditional Thelwall Rose Queen Festival.

Although slightly smaller than usual, the parade left Thelwall Parish Hall with the floats displaying Disney movie themes with The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and 101 Dalmatians.



Twelve-year-old George Donlan was crowned Rose Queen as villagers enjoyed an afternoon of festival fun including morris dancing, various stalls and entertainment.

A spokesperson from the organising committee said: “Thanks to everyone who came out for an amazing Rose Queen Day. It was fantastic to see everyone there.
“Thanks also to everyone who too part in the parade, we know how much work it is and you all looked amazing. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with next year.
“I’m sure you all agree the Rose Queen and her retinue all looked fantastic too and again, the float decoration was first class.
“Finally, thanks to all the people that work behind the scenes to make it all happen. Booking acts, planning the field, baking cakes, setting up, taking down and everything else in between. It’s a massive task and it wouldn’t happen without these volunteers.”
