"I think that we probably had well over 200 people visit during the period that the flowers were available and we would like to thank all the ladies that were involved in putting together such a wonderful festival."

He said many comments had praised the exceptional quality and standard of the flower decorating which followed the Jubilee theme down to the point of two corgis dogs being part of the demonstration.
