TO CELEBRATE Delabole chapel's 150th anniversary year and the 30th anniversary of the annual flower festival, in aid of Cornish Hospices, the theme of 'best of Cornish' was used.

Many local village organisations contributed flower displays which were imaginative, colourful and captured the uniqueness of Cornwall.

The festival was opened on Friday, August 2 by Rev Bryan Ede and continued on Saturday when there was a Sunday School re-union, followed by the cutting of the celebration cake by Patricia Molloy.
