Miss Northern Ireland 2021 has put her name firmly in the history books as she finished within the top 6 at the Miss World beauty pageant - the furthest a Miss NI has ever placed in the history of the competition.
Anna Leitch, a school teacher from Cookstown, was crowned Miss Northern Ireland in September 2021 after deciding to apply because she felt it was her time to take to the stage after being a fan of the beauty competition for many years.
The 27-year-old jetted off to represent NI at the monumental 70th Miss World pageant in San Juan, Puerto Rico in December however, due to the Covid pandemic, the final had to be postponed until March.
