'What a great day' was the verdict on this year's Wisbech Rose Fair which once again pulled in the crowds.
There were two parades, one queen, donkeys, and plenty of sunshine for Saturday's event, organised for the second year running by the town council.
One of the biggest highlights of the town’s calendar was everything visitors could have wanted.
The walking parade was once again hugely popular with local groups and organisations embracing this year's theme of 'The Circus' with their amazing costumes.
Once again, there was a host of events in the Market Place, the Castle, and in Museum Square. These included historic re-enactments in the Castle grounds and live music in Museum Square.
Rose Queen Kacey Goodson-Allen led the parade in a golf cart. The 13-year-old had been given a Rose Fair makeover thanks to Retreat Hairdressers and Evie @ the Lashes and Nails Lounge.
The walking parade had hundreds of participants from organisations that included the Brownies, Guides, schools, dance and theatre groups, and dozens of others.
The overall winner of the best-participating group was the Eastern Region Donkey Breed Society.
Wisbech-based Nine Lives Theatre Company took the best junior prize, while LJs Dance Academy was 'highly commended'.
Afterwards, Cllr Sam Hoy, who spearheaded the organising committee, gave a heartfelt thank-you to all those who had helped make the Rose Fair such a blooming success.
She said: "A lot of time and effort goes into these events, and they couldn’t take place without help.
"Can I start by thanking everyone who took part in today? Whether you were a stall holder, entertainer, militia, classic car owner, first aider, ride operator, highway operative, or our beautiful Rose Queen. It was all made special because of you.

"The parade was good fun, and thank you so much to the groups that took part, despite the hot weather. The effort you put in was amazing."
She thanked the event's main sponsors, her fellow town councillors, the town councils clerk and deputy clerks, and individuals who also gave up their time to help.
Sam added: "You’re all superstars."
