After the crowning ceremony, the day continued in fine style with plenty of entertainment for all the kids and adults to enjoy, including entertainer Uncle Billly.
A visit from the Langside Alpacas proved a bit hit with the wee ones, and quite of few of the bigger visitors too.

And the fun continued on Sunday too, with some brilliant entertainment provided at the park next to Oscars between 12.30pm and 4pm

Lady Gaga and Neil Diamond tribute acts kept the crowd happy with loads of stalls for all to enjoy and plenty to keep the kids occupied.
