THIS year’s Hatherleigh Carnival provided as much fun and colour as in years gone by, with dozens of people turning out to support the community event.

There were adults and children alike dressed-up in a variety of vibrant costumes.

Aptly in the year of the Queen’s 90th birthday Hatherleigh Carnival had its own Queen Elizabeth, 16-year-old Elizabeth Hutton. The Prince and Princess who joined Elizabeth on the royal float were brother and sister Heidi Flowers, aged seven, and Guy Flowers, aged four.

Carnival organisers expressed thanks to Dartmoor Rescue, The Rotary Club, St John’s Ambulance and the many volunteers who helped out on the day.Pictures by James Bird. See this week's Times for more pictures and results.
