There was a traditional parade around Newton, which set off from the village’s Bluecoat School.

After the parade, new rose queen Robyn Westgate was crowned by Anne Eccles, a teacher of Newton Bluecoat School, where Robyn is a pupil.

Other activities on the village green included Punch and Judy, a small fairground, a bouncy castle, cream teas and various stalls.
