MAJORETTES (pictured) marched to the top of two competitions.

Girls from the Lancashire Red Rose Majorettes, who practise at Roman Road Community Centre, Blackburn, scooped top awards in championships at Prestatyn and Leeds.

Sarah Eccles (front left) won first prize for best senior leader at Pontins, Prestatyn, and Shelley Hill (front right) won first prize as best junior leader at Bramley, Leeds.

The troupe used a community education grant to pay for their trips to the contests.
