AFTER a recent spell of very bad weather, the organisers of this year's Kilkhampton Fete were very relieved to find that Saturday, July 21 was fine and sunny, which added to the enjoyment of the day.

A large crowd gathered at the church gate to hear the Rev Richard Ward-Smith introduce former queen Mrs Vicky Westlake to crown this year's recipient, Paige Roycroft, before a procession led by Bideford Pipe Band marched through the village to Lamb Park.
