Four trainee florists from Bath have had success in a national competition designed to test their skills against some of the most talented students across the country.

The City of Bath College students took part in the heats of the Chelsea Florist of the Year, held at the New Covent Garden Flower Market.

Megan Bidmead won first place in the over-25s category, meaning she has secured a place at next year's Chelsea Flower Show, while Catherine Campbell came second.

In the under 25s, Stephanie Eastwood won second place and Polly Le Vailant came in third.
