THE Chillerton and Gatcombe Flower Show attracted floral enthusiasts from far and wide.

The 72nd annual summer event saw visitors and competitors gather at the Chillerton Village Green for an afternoon of flowers and fun.

There were almost 500 entries, including collections of vegetables, fruit and flowers, homemade cakes and photography.

"It was a lovely sunny day, which was a nice change, with really good quality exhibits," said club secretary Catherine Arnold.

Entertainment included fun and games for all the family, including a tug-of-war contest and fancy dress competition.
