The new Ms Manchester Festival Queen is Shanice Walters.

The 23-year-old was crowned on Sunday at the coronation show held at Belair High School — where Walters is a mathematics teacher — by the reigning Ms Jamaica Festival Queen, Dr Dominique Reid, who won the Miss Manchester Festival Queen title in 2021.

First runner-up was 19-year-old Sabrina Johnson and second runner-up, 19-year-old Sherith Murray.

Walters copped four of the six sectional prizes — most active in community, best talent performance, most popular on social media and most culturally aware.

She will move on to compete for the Miss Jamaica Festival Queen national title.
