BROUGHTON Horticultural Show was opened by Sir David Younger who drew attention to the fact that this was the 166th annual show and wondered how large a community there might have been in Broughton and the surrounding area when the first show took place.
He thought that it is quite remarkable that the Society has been kept going for so long.
He also thanked the Committee and all their helpers for the hard work in setting up the show and the local businesses that have so kindly supported the event in many ways.
David also took the opportunity to thank the dedicated group who organise and maintain the excellent floral plantings in the village itself which are much appreciated by the community and visitors alike.
