Roscommon woman crowned 2024 Rose of London

27-year-old Glenna Mannion from Tulsk has been crowned the 2024 Rose of London.

Living in London for the last eight years, Glenna is a deputy manager in a residential home for autistic children from the ages of eight to 18.

Glenna was selected from the 15 finalists at Saturday night’s final at the Clayton Hotel in Chiswick.

She succeeds Amy Gillen as the London Rose and will go on to represent London at this year’s International Rose of Tralee festival.

Following her selection, Glenna told The Irish World: “I’m in absolute shock, I actually can’t believe this has happened. This is an absolute dream come true.

“I’m so happy and so thankful to everyone for this experience, from the girls to the judges, to the committee. I’m so thankful to them for putting their faith in me and I’m absolutely delighted.”
