Fairytale dreams of becoming a princess have come true for these three Canvey youngsters after being crowned as the island's carnival court.
Amyjane Foale, 15 and Zowie Tatham, 11 took over as the carnival princesses, while fifteen year old Amy Seaton was crowned as the new queen.
The girls will head this year's procession which takes place on Saturday July 17 and also attend functions throughout the county.
Carnival organiser, Celia Slate, said: "The ceremony was lovely. The girls all had a great time and we had a large turnout. I just hope that all these people will be there on the day to support us."
