Despite the anxieties beforehand, the Govan Fair was all right on the night!

‘It was a great night,’ said Dot Courtney. ‘As good as last year, if not better. We look forward to next year’s now.’
Actor Iain Robertson of Sea of Souls and Small Faces, did the honours and crowned the Govan Fair Queen Tee Jay Tinney from Drumoyne Primary.

There were more than 30 floats in the procession and the Asda one caught fire midway along the route. Fortunately the float immediately behind was a FIRE ENGINE! So the episode was dealt with quickly.
