"There's nothing I've been asked to do since being elected to the Lothians region that's made me more proud than being Leith Provost for the day.

"I'm full of admiration for the work that goes into the festival, and it was clear during the parade down Lochend Road that people still feel proud of a community that's retained its independence."
Margo Macdonald, Provost of Leith for a day
