Winners of the group sections were the Wilson family’s portrayal of Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom, with the youth club in second and the nursery’s band of superheroes third.
Organiser Heidi Wilson – who also helped out by being dunked into cold water off the stooge stool, along with Jody Wilson and Sarah Borthwick – told us: “It was a really good day and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

“Also providing entertainment were the brilliant Langlee Choir, Irish dancers and the Paul Capaldi Ceilidh Band.
“Sean Millar and Faye Kennedy, the Langlee Lad and Lass, who helped open the carnival, performed their tasks brilliantly, and had great smiles throughout.”
