18 fantastic pictures from much-loved Poulton Gala

Unseasonably grey skies couldn’t dampen the spirits of those who took part - and watched Poulton Gala.

It’s one of the biggest and best loved events on the calendar, a proud local tradition that saw floats, music, dance and crowds celebrating a community.

Poulton-le-Fylde Gala Queen Annabelle and her retinue stole the show in the procession that weaved its way through the historic village.

Afterwards festivities continued at Cottam Hall Playing Fields, transforming it into a hub of entertainment and joy for everyone to enjoy.
