PETER Gorton of the 'Horn of Plenty' presented trophies at Latchley, Chilsworthy and Cox Park's Horticultural Show on Saturday July 27.

The show was celebrating its 25th anniversary after having been revived in 1977.

A marquee provided the venue for horticultural and craft produce and a table of memorabilia was also staged. This included copies of schedules for the past 25 years together with news cuttings and photographic records.

Popular events on the day included a dog show, horse show, vintage vehicles, animals and children's sports. A display of working German Shepherds, a Land-Rover pull and music by Stannary Brass Band, ensured the afternoon was enjoyed by everyone.
