THE annual Fairford Festival Queen competition took place on Bank Holiday Monday, May 4 at the Bull Hotel in Fairford.

There were 12 entries all hoping to win a place in the Festival Queen’s entourage. Last year’s Festival Queen, Jasmine Stephenson handed over the crown to new Fairford Festival Queen 2015, Bo Preece-Smith, who was also last year’s Festival Princess.

The coveted Festival Princess award was given to Annie Russell.
