This year’s theme was remembrance- a reflection of the 100th anniversary of the Royal British Legion and ‘poppy day’ which take place this year.

Entries came flooding in from all over town, but Charlotte Sturgess and Lily Dunham came out on top. Their designs, which explore the cultural significance of the poppy, have been brought to life at the seafront mound flowerbeds.
