A PRINCESS and her attendants will be guests of honour at a carnival tomorrow.

Samantha Draper, 13, was recently crowned Sacriston Carnival Princess during an event at Sacriston Working Men's Club.

Her attendants are Nicole Weldon, nine, and Kaitlyn Butterfield, five.

Each girl received a medal from Chester-le-Street District Council chairman Tom Harland.

The girls will lead the carnival parade from Sacriston's Daisy Hill pub to Fyndoune Community College, at 11am. The event will be opened by Mr Harland.

The carnival runs from noon to mid-afternoon at the college and in the surrounding area.
