We were given a press photographers pass which allowed us to take many more pictures of the Lanimers celebrations, including the procession, the crowning ceremony and the events in Castlebank Park, which was hosted by ourselves.
This is the second of three photo galleries on our website for the Lanimers of 2008, where you can view pictures taken during the crowning ceremony and of the Lanimer Court for 2008. As usual, you can click on each picture for a larger image.
Many people were seeing the Lanimers for the very first time, including our newly elected MSP for the South of Scotland, Aileen Campbell, who can be seen on this gallery and the Procession gallery.
Well done to all the winners of the procession and fancy dress parade, especially those who were in Spellbound, whose shelves will be stacked full of awards they had one this year.
For our worldwide visitors, Lanark Lanimers is one of Scotland's oldest festivals, which takes place annually in the town that was home to William Wallace, who was depicted by Mel Gibson in the movie "Braveheart." The Lanimers is celebrated for over a week, first with the "checking" of the town's boundaries as part of the Marches procession, followed by the highlight of the week that is Lanimer Day, held on the Thursday after the first Saturday of June. This is effectively a public holiday for the people of the county and it is also one of Lanarkshire's largest festivals and outdoor events.

Thanks for having Your Party Night at the Lanimer Day Celebrations. Special thanks to Jim Masters, the Lanimer Committee and their dedicated team of volunteers and helpers who arranged the booking and took on the immense challenge of organising all the events on the day and also for providing us with a photographers pass.
