CHILDREN's dance leaders Georgia Holding, Thomas Orchard, Emma King and Ross Benney from St Michael's School Helston lead off around 1,000 youngsters from the town's four primary schools this morning.
Among the contingent in procession around the town were 500 students from Helston College.
Thousands of people are thronging the streets of Helston to witness the annual spectacle, many giving a rousing rendition of Trelawneys.
