THERE was plenty of sparkles and smiles outside the Falcon Hotel, Bude, as Holsworthy ex-pupils turned out for their Year 11 leavers prom.

As always they arrived in style in a variety of transport, ranging from an ice cream van to cement mixers.

With brollies at hand, the poor weather failed to deter pupils from having a good evening.

Awards were given out on the night, including prom king and queen and for the best arrival which was in a courier van.
