Sun shines for annual village parade and crowning of May Queen
Celebrating some spring sunshine, Elstow residents gathered for the village's annual parade and festival last Saturday.
The crowning glory came when eight-year-old Kelly Ayres was named as the May Queen and Kienan Howlett-Smart as her coachman, see below.
Opening this year's festivities was mid-Bedfordshire MP Nadine
Dorries with entertainment coming in the shape of the Equinox
Cheerleaders, Hemel Hempstead Band and traditional Maypole dancing by children from Elstow Lower School.
Tours of Elstow Abbey were also on offer and a whole host of food, drink and craft stalls were available to those just wanting to enjoy the spring sun.
