Organiser Freda Parlett explains: “Mary organises our trips to a number of musicals throughout the year so we thought it would be great way to pay tribute to her.
“She definitely deserves the honour and she has really enjoyed her week so far.”
It was not hard to spot the Kirkfieldbank Community as they had all dressed up as Where’s Wally while the sounds of Samba came to Lanark in the shape of St Aidan’s High School and the Beats of Brazil.

St Mary’s Primary School were enjoying a day at the races complete with Lanark Silver Bell.
One of the organisers Lesley Wilson said: “The design has got a touch of Royal Ascot about it but with a wee Lanark twist to it.”
It might be summer time but pupils at Robert Owen Primary were already thinking of December thanks to their Christmas Parade while the kids of Lanark Primary were out of this world with their Luna-Mars entry.
