On Saturday 19th October the Queen of Derbyshire Committee held their selection day court of queens in Baslow with an amazing turnout of local carnival queens and royalty.
This year’s new Queen of Derbyshire is Miss Olivia Ridgard (15) from Bakewell who was previously the Bakewell Carnival Queen. Olivia will now go out for the next 12 months as Queen of Derbyshire so please look out for her and her many fund raising events that she has planned. Olivia's chosen charity is the East Midlands Immediate Care Scheme and the Ark Animal Rescue Centre in Ashbourne.
What was quite unusual was that Olivia was crowned on the day by her sister Lily Ridgard who was a previous Queen of Derbyshire in 2017.
On behalf of the Derbyshire Committee we would like to wish her all the very best for the year ahead.
