Guernsey's Battle of Flowers returns

  • ITV Channel reporter Kate Prout meets some of those taking part in this year's parade


Guernsey's Battle of Flowers is back with colourful floats competing to win the event's top prize, the Prix d'Honneur.

Thousands of visitors head along to Sausmarez Park every year to admire the entries and they can also take part in the judging process.

The show is run by the Northern Agricultural and Horticultural Society and is a key fixture in Guernsey's summer calendar.

It ends with an illuminated cavalcade and a firework display.

The event returned in 2021 after a year's absence because of Covid restrictions.

Many of the floats entered in that show had been more than a year in the making, although there were fewer entries than usual because of concerns over whether Battle would go ahead.
