Nervously fidgeting with hemlines and re-adjusting beehives, the sixty beauty-queen finalists of the Miss England 2012 competition waited impatiently.
Then finally former Britain’s Next Top Model contestant Charlotte Holmes from Devon was announced as the winner.
The 23-year-old Miss Devon shed tears of joy as she accepted her crown and held up her trophy on stage at the Athena in Leicester.
Dressed in a sparkly blue gown with a thigh-high split she managed to dry her eyes before being joined on stage by runner-up Anastasia Smith, Miss North Yorkshire, and third place Tamzin Cummings, Sunderland People’s Choice. All contestants wearing an amazing array of gowns by Sherri Hill, Pia Michi and Jovania.
