They are being passed between more than 40 groups in the North West, with Wigan Flower Club passing its torch to Horwich Flower Club.

The event is being performed nationwide in the organisation’s 21 regions and torches will be shown at the society’s annual general meeting in November at Ribby Hall in Preston.

Wigan Flower Club meets at 7.15pm on the third Wednesday of each month at Pemberton Band Room, with new members always welcome.

There are demonstrations using fresh flowers, with the arrangements offered as a raffle prize at the end of the evening.
