Chichester Cathedral has today (June 8) opened its 2022 Festival of Flowers with 60 arrangements on show featuring some 50,000 blooms.

Installations take inspiration from the theme Life In All Its Fullness, which explores the benefits of art, nature and music in healing.

Patron of the festival actor Hugh Bonneville launched the event yesterday (June 7), hailing it a 'sensational display', and it will run until Saturday (June 11).
