THE schoolgirl who will be crowned as Lanark Lanimer Queen this year is 11-year-old Sarah Smith.
Sarah was chosen by schoolfriends at Robert Owen Memorial Primary on Monday, and is now looking forward to her big day on Thursday June 12.
''I am just in a bit of a shock at the moment, and Sarah is in shock as well,'' said her mother Janet. ''She cannot believe it. I think it will take a wee while to sink in.''
Sarah, who has an older brother Gary (19) has some experience of the Lanimer celebrations over the years.
She previously appeared in a procession entry from Robert Owen and from the mother and toddlers group at the Memorial Hall in the past.
Her favourite activity, however, is gymnastics, and she has been a member of the display team based at Lanark YMCA for years.
''She is very active in that,'' said her mother. ''They travel about quite a lot, to London, Manchester and Liverpool.
''She was in Austria last July.She really enjoys that.
''It is quite a good social thing for her.''
Members of the court chosen from Robert Owen were: Queen Sarah Smith; Chief Maids Alexandra Frame, Hannah Wilson; Ladies in Waiting Emma Campbell, Shannon Crombie; Crown Bearer Stuart Mitchell; Herald Graeme Haynes; Page Boys Calvin Stuart, Nathan Thomson.
Other schools were choosing their representatives as the Gazette went to press.
