CHILDREN from St Joseph's Primary School at Link Top were among those who took part in this year's well-dressing competition.

The youngsters decorated a water feature in the churchyard at St James's Church, West Malvern.

Forty-two wells, springs and spouts around the Malvern Hills were decorated in this year's festival, which had the theme River of Life.

For the first time this year, prizes will be awarded according to public vote rather than by the decision of judges from the Malvern Spa Association, which organises the event.

The results are expected to be announced shortly.
