Winchester Cathedral's Festival of Flowers, recreating the Winchester Bible's illuminations, is as much a celebration of florists' skills and the artistry of scriveners and scribes centuries ago.
The display around Anthony Gormley's statue in the crypt is breathtaking.
@quietpurplehaze no you wouldn't, white balance all wrong!! Flowers were white, candles yellow and quite dark and crowded ( despite only 10 people at a time!)
It was so emotional watching the red and purple petals falling from the nave ceiling to dramatic music. I welled up! @lanikyea thank you Lani.
@joysabin will Google that suggestion, as doesn't make sense to me. There was an iron gate between us and display so no people to obstruct view @amyk it's pretty bad in colour!! @4rky many thanks, first time I've seen the statue @wendyfrost this doesn't convey how truly stunning it was @fbailey it made me gasp! @quietpurplehaze emotional in a Remembrance Sunday sort of way when poppies fall. Fleeting but strong.

@lanikyea thank you Lani.
I try not to do emotional so my decison not to go was probably right!

Yes, same thing for me.
