Staging for Harvest Festival at Westminster Abbey

Staging took place on Wednesday 15th October by two talented members from the London and Overseas Area : June Ford and Graham Harmer.

Using Sunflowers, dahlias, roses, hydrangea, solidago, chrysanthemum and wheat they created two wonderful pedestals at the High Altar.
