Crowds turned out in force for this year’s Cowdenbeath Gala Day, which embraced a Commonwealth Games theme and delivered a packed programme of community celebration.
The parade set off from Woodend Industrial Estate at noon, making its way to the park where an afternoon of activities ran from 1pm to 5pm.
