Organiser Mary Rix-Miller said about 500 people turned out to feast on the berries and strawberry treats, which included strawberry fudge and lemonade.

The day was a "perfect strawberry day" - cold but sunny - and Ms Rix-Miller said she was pleased to see a huge range of people enjoying the day.

Chelsea Allan, 23, was crowned the 2012 strawberry queen while prizes were also given out for the best strawberry outfit and strawberry cake, Ms Rix-Miller said.
