THE crowning of the Statue of Our Lady was observed in Rossendale RC Churches with processions before the services.
About a thousand people walked in the procession of St James-the-Less, Rawtenstall. They walked from the church and through the town with a contingent from St Thomas More Church, Crawshawbooth. The May Queen was Mary Carol Newton.
