Govan Fair 2009
June 9, 2009 by Grace Franklin
Govan Fair kicked off on the traditional first Friday evening in June. The Queen for 2009 – Abbie Hunter (11) from St Saviour’s Primary School – was crowned by 90-year-old young Bill Young. In a gracious and emotional speech the man known for his jazz band which serenades the Royal party on entry to Elder Park Library for the crowning ceremony, said it was an honour and a privilege to crown the Govan Queen. The sprightly musician had attended hospital that very day for treatment. After the ceremony, the Fair Queen was escorted to the head of the very long parade which she led in a horse drawn carriage from Windyknowe Clydesdales and W.R. Combe’s stables.
