The crowds came out for Staining Gala on Saturday as the weather was kind to the popular annual festival.

One of the hottest days of the year meant the sun shone down on the gala as the parade wound its way through the village, before the growning of the gala queen in the afternoon on the Village Field.

* Here are some lovely pictures from the day taken by Citizen photographer, Kevin Walsh.
