ORGANISERS of this year's Filey Festival have unveiled the three youngsters who will become the royal children for the nine-day event.
The children, who are all from Filey Junior School, will be young ambassadors for the festival which runs from June 28 to July 6.
The queen will be Eleanor Cross, 11, the princess will be eight-year-old Olivia Yolezo, and Zach Bowes, 11, will be the prince. The three will play a key role in this year’s festival by being VIPs at the opening ceremony and attending many events.
Festival chairman Joyce Hoblyn said: “I am sure they will be excellent royal children for this year’s festival and I am already looking forward to seeing them in their royal costumes.”
A panel, including Filey Festival committee members, selected the three youngsters. Mrs Hoblyn said organisers were still putting together this year’s programme but she said it would be a mix of traditional favourites and some new attractions too.
