A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl from Bradford on Avon was named as the town's May Princess on Monday.

Bethany Thompsett was not expecting to win when she and her sister entered the competition at the fair.

Her mother Ann was proud of her daughter's achievement.

She said: "We were so surprised she won, because we are fairly new to the area and have never entered anything like that before."

A competition was also held to find this year's May Prince of Bradford on Avon.

The accolade went to seven-year-old Daniel Lee, who will now join Bethany at the Lions Spring Fair next bank holiday, when the town mayor will formally crown them both.
