THE organisers of the flower festival in Ramsbottom have thanked everyone who supported their event at St Paul’s Church last weekend.

Alan Lumsden, an organiser of Ramsbottom Life in Bloom, said: “We’d hoped to make it a floral celebration of everything that makes our town special.

“Our local businesses, organisations and individuals who exhibited displays certainly lived up to that with more than forty striking and original floral arrangements.

“Local schools contributed too, with a wonderful display of floral artwork, much appreciated by our visitors.

“We’re also immensely grateful to our own congregation and people from our neighbouring churches who worked tirelessly to help make the event a success and to Ramsbottom Business Group for suport.”
