TEENAGER Kirsty Byron was as pretty as a princess as she was crowned this year's Rose Queen of St Cuthbert's Church, Darwen.

The 13-year-old attended a special crowning ceremony with her retinue at St Cuthbert's Primary School, in St Alban's Road, on Saturday.

She will now take over form former Queen, Rebecca Hutchinson, 14, who raised more than £2,500 for the Dogs for the Disabled Charity as part of her official duties.
