A DETERMINED group of local dancers are ready to compete in a worldwide competition in honour of their late friend.
A total of 19 girls from Lucy's Dance Academy, run by Lucy Broadfoot, will be performing in the World Lyrical Dance Federation championships in July.
The youngsters, all aged seven to 15, will be taking part in honour of late Port Glasgow teenager Cerys Reeve who was a member at the dance school.
The young dancer, who tragically died at the age of 14 last July, was to compete alongside her friends in the global dance competition.
The team are determined to do Cerys proud and rehearsing hard for the big event.
