Seton Queen Caitlin McMillan and her court dazzled for the Diamond Jubilee of Cockenzie and Port Seton Gala.
The 60th annual gala day started when contestants in the fancy dress parade begin to assemble at Port Seton Centre in preparation for the arrival of the Queen.
This year's principals led the gala procession in an open top bus, with the customary stop at the Green for the laying of a wreath at the local war memorial.
From there, the parade continued to Cockenzie Harbour for the embarkation of the Queen's Barge and the procession to Port Seton Harbour.
The gala committee would like to thank the skippers and crews of the local fishing fleet who transported the court, assisted this year by the Reaper.
Back on dry land, at King George V Park, local author Mary Contini accepted the honour of crowning the 60th Seton Queen before the assembled crowd.
