TOP HATS topped the fashion parade as Doves Pre-school, Totton, celebrated Easter.

Most of the group's 45 under-fives turned up for the bonnet cavalcade held in Totton's Christian Centre.

Judges Bridget Munday and Kathy Redmen had their work cut out to choose the best out of nearly four dozen crepe paper creations.

In the end they selected steeple-hatted Ethan Wilkinson, aged four, and three-year-old Ria Ashford, who opted for a more traditional chick-strewn bonnet.
