A colourful flower show has raised more than £14,000 for a children's and young people's hospice and even boasted a personal message from David Cameron.

The flower festival was held at the Stanborough Park Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Garston, from Friday June 26 to Sunday 28.

The theme of the festival was Windows onto God and included a host of flower arrangers from the local churches, as well as others in Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and Harrow.

The festival raised in excess of £14,000, which will be donated to Helen & Douglas House, in Oxford, where David Cameron's son, Ivan, received respite care.

The leader of the Conservative Party, Mr Cameron took time to send his best wishes, via Richard Harrington, the Tory parliamentary candidate for Watford.
