SIR -Last year, I was lucky enough to win the competition in the Gazette to be Barnstaple junior princess in 2008 and junior queen in 2009.
I had such a wonderful time that I wonder if you would be kind enough to print this letter so that I can say a huge thank-you to all the people involved in making our day so special, especially the following people:
All the carnival committee, especially Lesley, who gave up lots of her time running around for us and sorting everything out;
The great stylist from Toni and Guy who styled olur hair so beautifully and gave up his entire day without eating or having a cup of tea;
Sheila from Gems for having such wonderful dresses for us to choose from;
We were given wonderful jewellery from Carole Anns and a perfect sparkly tiara from the Bead Store. The Royal and Fortescue Hotel was once again kind enough to lend us a room to change in.
