A TV PRESENTER became a star attraction at a village fruit, flowers and produce show.

The Sherfield & District Show returned on September 3 and attendees were delighted to see well-known TV gardener presenter and writer, Pippa Greenwood, was the guest of honour.

The show was first established in 1966 and sees talented amateur locals exhibit across many classes including flowers, vegetables, fruit, crafts, cookery and photography. 

As well as being guest of honour, Pippa, who was a regular presenter on BBC 2's Gardeners' World, also handed out the prizes.
