THE sun shone on ‘Our Precious Earth’, the theme of this year’s flower festival at All Saints Church, Selworthy, which raised more than £2,000.

Apart from the floral displays, attractions included a raffle for a wall hanging made by a group of local women and won by a Minehead resident.

Many local visitors and holidaymakers, including one woman from New Zealand, dropped in to the flower festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend, and the money raised will go towards church improvements.
