SCHOOL pupils have planted a floral tribute to the victims of cancer.
Youngsters from year ten at Durham Gilesgate Sports College and Sixth Form Centre's Bradford Crescent campus, in Gilesgate, planted about 1,000 daffodil bulbs at Wharton Park, North Road, Durham.
This is the latest Field of Hope for Marie Curie Cancer Care and the second in the city. The other is near the city's Passport Office.
Linda McDonagh, the charity's community fund-raiser, said she was delighted with the efforts of the 15-year-olds who are going for their Duke of Edinburgh awards.
The youngsters got involved after an approach from Margaret Davies, of the charity's Durham support group, who is also a governor at the school.
Miss McDonagh said: "People can sponsor bulbs in memory of loved ones they have lost."
She added that the land and bulbs had been given by Durham City Council and that people who wanted to sponsor bulbs could call the charity on 0191-382 3311 for further details.
