Preparations under way for diamond jubilee flower festival at Norwich Cathedral

Norfolk over the past 60 years and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee are being celebrated in a four-day flower show that opens tomorrow and has been organised by the Norwich Cathedral Flower Guild committee,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
About 100 inventive and spectacular floral displays - each representing an aspect of Norfolk or a royal visit -will be decorating the cathedral,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], thanks to the creative efforts of about 25 Norfolk flower clubs and individuals and the festival designers Anne Colchester and Trish Mayhew, who decided on the subjects for the displays.
In the first day of setting up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everything from a floral recreation of Jarrold's shop front to the Norfolk coast to Norwich Market were being worked on in the cathedral,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and more arrangements will be added today.
Mrs Colchester said: "I am stunned at what people have created,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

"We gave them a subject and had no idea what they were going to come up with, and I am flabbergasted at how amazing the displays are."
Mrs Mayhew added: "The ingenuity of them all is amazing. We are absolutely overwhelmed and delighted with the results."
Among the people putting up displays yesterday were Mary Gibbs and Judy Barham,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from Drayton Flower Club. They have incorporated a Christmas tree and steam engine made by Mrs Barham's husband David Barham for their display about the Thursford Spectacular.
A display capturing the essence of the Royal Norfolk Show and the Wayland Agricultural Show - complete with two sheep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a scarecrow, and some unique vegetable arrangements - have been designed by Norwich Flower Club members.

The Norwich shoe industry is represented in a display by Mu Gurbutt, who recently won a gold medal for a different display with fellow arranger Jenni Baker at the Chelsea Flower Show. For her display at Norwich Cathedral she was assisted by Margery Riley and Elisabeth Beckley, and it features key industry names Start-rite, Van Dal, Norvic and Bally, shoes covered in flowers and leaves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and various shoe-making tools. Tracey Whiskerd and Sarah Fuller, from Drayton Flower Club,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are recreating the circus complete with trapeze artists, juggling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], clowns and synchronised swimmers for their representation of Great Yarmouth's Hippodrome.
A team from Holt Flower Club have used about 330 blooms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plus numerous plants, in their nine metre display representing the Norwich Research Park and they have also included everything from double helices to petri dishes to a graduation gown. The Thorpe Floral Design Club have included a representation of a Norfolk Wherry in their display about Broadland sailing and thatching. Meanwhile Gay Bedini,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from Tasburgh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has recreated Jarrold's shop front in flowers.
On Saturday, Jacqui Dankworth is singing at the cathedral at 7.30pm. Tickets, £25 and £20, can be bought from the cathedral shop and Prelude Records.
