Police have used pepper spray, tear gas and water cannons, as well as setting fire to tents, to disperse the protesters over the last four days. (NewsPoint)

How would you interpret the films "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel",or "Four weddings and a Funeral" or the "Gruffalo" and many more films in flowers? The flower arrangers will attempt to do so in this very old listed church so it will be a marvellous display of flowers with a soft music in the background. Another feature will be a beautiful In Memoriam flower display along side a list of names that people wish to remember.
A very lighthearted church service of humerous readings and poems linked to the theme of films will be held at the end of the festival on 16 June at 5.30pm.
