They then joined the Dunrossness School bairns, staff and visitors for the School Up Helly Aa procession and galley burning. Jarl Emily Black led the School Jarl's Squad, guizers and assembled folk for a procession from the school along the main road to the Boddam sports pitch where the School galley was burnt. This was followed by a visit to the Overtonlea Care Home at Levenwick and a rest period at Levenwick Hall until the evening procession.
