Layla who we featured recently was part of a Fashion Show/Pageant, in India and the photo above shows her holding the Newton News in Cochin.

She didn’t win the main title, but was awarded “Best Gown”, “Best National Costume” (UK flag inspired dress made by Layla’s mother) “Face of JMI 2017” and “Princess of Europe”. Layla’s mother also won best parent.

She was in India for 5 days and attended classes in dancing and catwalk modelling. There was an event called “Night of the Nation” where she displayed lots of items that represented the UK. She met other contestants from all over the world including Japan, Nepal, United Emirates, Vietnam, India and South Africa. Send your landmark Newton News photo to syd@newtonnews.co.uk
