Tina Green was blooming with joy at the Meriden Community Centre on Saturday.
The wide-eyed youngster won first prize in an Easter bonnet competition with a fabulous floral creation.

Tina, six, of The Pelhams, Garston, took the crown at an Easter children’s party attended by more than 30 local youngsters. Sisters Hayley and Zoe Wilson of Fairfolds, Garston, were second and third respectively.

Organiser Tommy Hampton said the seasonal party was a big hit with the children who tucked into a specially prepared buffet.
