Music in bloom

A 900-YEAR-OLD English cathedral with the longest nave in Britain is to host a flower festival. 

The 11th-century St Albans Cathedral in Hertfordshire is the venue for the Music in Bloom Festival (September 25-28).

More than 400 flower arrangers will be working on the displays in the run-up to the festival, which will see 10,000 blooms in total being used in the cathedral's 278ft-long nave.

The arrangements will be themed on musical genres from chamber to rock. 

Some 132 well-known pieces of music and songs will feature in the displays.
