Adorable!<\/li>\n<li>The longest locks was a spectacular 101cm long. Pretty impressive if we do say so.<\/li>\n<li>Most freckles per square inch was a tough category to judge. A lady from Belgium officially nabbed the title.<\/li>\n<li>13 month old Finbarr was crowned winner of the most Porcelain Skin. What a little angle!<\/li>\n<li>Best Redhead Mum all the way from Co Clare was Charlotte Lynch. Her kids say she gives the best hugs. So sweet!<\/li>\n<li>Laura-May the 2014 Redhead Queen proudly awarded her grandfather with the title of Best Redhead Grandad.<\/li>\n<li>King of the Redheads Alan had the most hysterical hair ever and he even uses an afro comb to tame his mane!
