Helston Flora Day Dancers
Helston flora day was again another great success this year. The dancers and spectators enjoyed some great weather. The dancers looked fantastic in all their finery, dressed for the traditional occasion.
The flora dance follows route around the town of Helston, accompanied by the Helston town band playing the tune of the Furry Dance.
The whole town and hundreds more supporters were there to watch all the dancers from 7pm onwards. The atmosphere in the town was superb!!!
Anyway here are some more images to share with you. The faces of some of the dancers have be obscured for obvious reasons.
Please share any flora day photographs you might have.
