A FLOWER festival in Pudleston will have a licence to thrill this summer.

Taking place at St Peter’s Church from August 29 to 31, this year's event takes the theme James Bond 007.

And the popular festival will be boosted by support from some of the well-known stars connected to the James Bond films.

Signed photos of the actors will be on display in a bid to help raise funds for the church, before they are put up for auction later in the year.

Some of those who have already got involved are Dame Shirley Bassey, Dame Judi Dench, Daniel Craig, Samantha Bond, Tobias Menzies, Robbie Coltrane and Hugh Bonneville.

The festival will also feature 19 floral displays depicting many aspects of the stories from Russia With Love to Miss Moneypenny’s office.

There will also be stalls, refreshments and more.
