More than 1,200 children danced through the streets of Helston on Friday for the largest dance on Flora Day. 

Leading the Children's Dance this year was Helston Community College, with the honour of being in the leading set given to Ollie Paterson, 18, Neve Goodwin, 16, Amy Hall, 16 and Josh Hichens, 17.

The college was followed by Parc Eglos School, Nansloe Academy and finally St Michael's School. 

Each boy wore a tie in their school colour - navy for the college, red for Parc Eglos, green for Nansloe and royal blue for St Michael's - while the girls wore wreaths of the traditional flowers for their school in their hair. 

The dance set off in the dry, but unfortunately ended in showers for the children. Thankfully it was not too heavy and there were plenty of smiles still from those taking part.
