The final show in Guernsey's summer season gets underway today, with the weather forecast looking good for the Battle of Flowers.
The show attracts thousands of visitors each year and is hosting a range of events, including the popular float parade tomorrow which will be followed by a grand firework display to finish the season.
Children can try arts and crafts for free with the Creation Station, have a go at circus skills with Circus Whizz and get involved in Tug of War this afternoon.
Meanwhile, spectators can gather around the main arena to watch displays from Bob Hogg's Sheepdogs, Stunt Mania and Dingle FIngle. Elsewhere, Guernsey Majorettes will be performing and the island's Vintage Tractor Club will make an appearance along with the Guernsey Rally.
Beer tent events get going at 18:30 each day with the Meat Draw, followed by live music throughout the evening.
