This year’s gala day was held in May and was a first in the town for years.

Families across Larkhall turned out to show their support and the even was hailed a huge success.

Schools and nurseries took part in the fancy dress parade in a bid to bring back the traditiona­l event to the town.

Businesses got into the spirit of the day by decorating their windows, while residents were delighted to take part in the fun and decorate the outside of their homes.

But it was the 101 Dalmatians entry that caught the eye of the judges at Montgomery Place in the town to take first place.

There were prizes for the best dressed float and on the day Larkhall singer Angel Gold entertaine­d the crowd.
