THE Ashwater benefice celebrated 'Five Alive' over the bank holiday weekend with five parishes and six churches coming together.

It started off in Beaworthy Church with a celebration of creation, which complemented the flower festival there.

The theme of the flowers festival was 'Celebrations,' with some creative flower arrangements of a wedding, baptism, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the seasons together with many other arrangements.
