Walpole St Peter is in the middle of a floral frenzy.
The village is currently holding its 56th annual flower festival and fayre, and hundreds of flower fans have already paid a visit to St Peter’s Church, which is one of Prince Charles’ favourites in the area, for the four-day celebration of all things floral.
As well as the usual variety of colourful displays, this year’s festival – which is themed ‘it was a great day out’ - includes mini ride-on railways, children’s games, teddies from the tower, molly dancing and performances from the King’s Lynn Town Band and the Anthony Curton School Choir.
The festival also featured a special guest appearance from local Paralympic hero, Jody Cundy.
The swimmer-turned-cyclist showed off his gold medals to those at the festival on Saturday (June 3).

The festival runs daily until Wednesday (June 7) and is open daily from 9am until 5pm. Parking and admission is free.
