IT may have been overcast outside, but the fruit, flowers, vegetables, cookery and craft entries shone inside at Wiveliscombe Flower Show at Kingsmead School on Saturday.

Entries from people of all ages were up to the usual high standards and organisers were delighted to see new and familiar faces among the exhibitors and visitors.

The town band entertained people inside, while vehicle enthusiasts braved the weather at the classic car show.
