HALE Carnival is over - but it's left lots of happy memories.

Fun and laughter filled the streets as children brought comic book characters to life.

Rose queen Emma Craine, pictured right, and her rose buds rode through the picturesque village in a horse drawn carriage, as the retiring retinue followed in an open top car.

Vintage tractors, line dancers, bands, stalls and sideshows provided plenty of festivities in Hale Park.
