Threatening clouds and some  rainfall didn’t dampen spirits for  the Ashton Hayes Rose Queen  Celebration 2013, which raised  more than £1,350.

Visitors were treated to cake  stalls, a tin can alley and stocks, as  well as a children’s recycled stall,   and an ‘adopt an animal’ tombola  from The Ash-worth Time Bank.

And of course, the guest of  honour was Ashton Hayes Rose  Queen Emma Cook, 12.
