THE centernary jubilee of the Luther Greenwood Memorial Festival of Music, Speech and Drama and Dance ended on a high note on Saturday.
The event, launched at Colne Municipal Hall, was celebrating 100 years of the festival, set up in memory of the talented violinist who died in 1946.
Greenwood, longest-serving conductor of Colne Orpheus Glee Union male choir, composed a hymn for the visit to Colne by King George V and Queen Mary in 1913.
As part of the festival, a competition was held to pen the lyrics to the song, which was won by Marilyn Connell from the Isle of Man.
People were entertained by Adam Stockbridge on the trumpet, pianist Naomi Warren, soprano Kathryn Henshaw, Glynn Morris on baritone, Martha Hardman on oboe and the East Lancs School of Dancing.
Hilda Harrison, 71, who has been involved for many years, sang a solo.
