SEASIDE themes were the favourite at the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta fancy dress parade in the bandstand.

Children brought a splash of colour and imagination to this year’s competition making it a difficult job for judges.

Winners were:

Under five years old: Callum, fab ice cream; 2 Polly, shark; 3, Mito, recycling monster.

Five to 11 years old: 1 Lilly from Dartmouth, Punch and Judy; 2, Limone and Ravi, Mermaid and Finding Nemo; 3 Bea, ice cream.
