Anglia in Bloom judging took place on Friday 15th July 2005.
On a beautiful day a substantial number of residents and visitors turned out to make sure their area of Filby was litter free, welcome the judges, wave flags and show their support for the project.
Even some of those who could not be present left their mark.
Both radio and television covered the event.
In this section of the gallery you will find a selection of photographs which will give a taste of the day.
