Rise and shine: Couples begin Flora Day celebrations with the Early Morning Dance. The dance takes place around town at 7am before the performers and musicians hit the streets - weaving in and out of shops and houses. Flora Day is one of the UK's oldest customs still practised today where locals celebrate the passing of winter and the arrival of spring.
