The sun shone, terriers raced, children sang and danced and a May Queen was crowned on Saturday.

Thousands of merrymakers turned out for a joyous procession and fayre to celebrate May in Walton-on-the-Hill.

Yzanne Pepper, 11, who attends St Andrew's Catholic School in Leatherhead, was carried by tractor and crowned during the Walton-on-the-Hill May Pageant.

Victoria Lord, who sits on the organising committee, said there were pony rides, birds of prey and more than 50 stalls.

Mrs Lord: "It was absolutely fabulous, one of our biggest. The weather helped contribute to a wonderful traditional May fayre atmosphere. We always focus on families and children."
