Schoolchildren from Attleborough Infant and Junior schools received prizes for their drawing skills.

Head gardener of Peter Beales Roses, Vaughn Limmer, visited them to announce the winners of the drawing competitions for the second Peter Beales Rose Festival, which was held at the Attleborough nursery on June 23 and 24.

The gardener, a successful artist himself, judged the pictures with managing director Richard Beales.

He said he found the entries extremely hard to judge because the standard was so high.

Three prizes for each school were awarded and consisted of artist pads and drawing materials.
