The parish church of Falmouth was filled with flowers over the weekend to mark its 350th anniversary.

Town mayor John Body joined Father Stephen Tudgey, vicar of King Charles the Martyr, as the church's flower festival was opened to the public on Friday morning.

Father Tudgey said: "It's a great opportunity to celebrate the history of this church and the fact that the church is still here, and to survey the 350 years since its consecration."

The flower festival, featuring displays from different congregations which are part of the Falmouth and Penryn Churches Together group, to commemorate the church's dedication in 1665.

The mayor and vicar were joined by sisters and flower festival organisers Letitia Rivett-Old and Jane Brown.

Letitia said: "It's been a long time since we had a flower festival in the church, and it seemed an ideal opportunity to have another one."

The displays covered centuries of Falmouth history, from Penryn's Glasney College and the execution of the church's namesake King Charles I, through the famous Packet ships and the Tall Ships which still visit the town, to the local scout troop with their leader climbing a rope towards the window above.

As part of the celebrations, organists Michael Hoeg and Richard Bailey were in the church to play for visitors.

Following the weekend, Father Tudgey said: "We had a good festival, it went really well."
