DESPITE the rain, thousands made their way to Denny Street, to catch a glimpse at the new Rose Of Tralee, Elysha Brennan and Midnight Madness.
The Meath Rose, Elysha Brennan, was announced as the winner on the night and was led to the stage on Denny Street, by the Escort of Year and local lad, Shane Kenny.
This year it was Daniel O’Donnell, who sang ‘The Rose of Tralee’ for the new Rose, the highlight being when he beckoned, Elysha’s, overjoyed parents to join their daughter on stage.
Elysha’s final duty on stage was to flick the switch for the Midnight Madness fireworks and draw the curtain down on another successful Rose festival.
