Hexham Abbey has celebrated its 1,350th anniversary year by hosting a flower festival.
The Abbey displayed multiple floral installations inspired by northern saints during the Northern Saints Flower Festival.
The festival was sponsored by an office technology company, SOS Group, which has partnered with the Abbey for 20 years.
Hexham Abbey was one of SOS Group’s initial clients in 2002.
Andrew Skelton, an SOS group director, said: "We were extremely proud to support this wonderful flower festival and very impressed by the flower displays throughout the Abbey."
"We’ve worked with Hexham Abbey since SOS Group began back in 2002, so we have a long history together.
"Not quite as much history as the Abbey has though!
"It says a lot that we have such longstanding client relationships.
"In fact, we've just extended our partnership with Hexham Abbey until late 2027 and we look forward to continuing to support the work of the team at this magnificent and historic church."

A variety of arrangements adorned Hexham Abbey during the festival, each telling a unique tale and embodying elements of the northern saints.
The display featured dozens of displays created by flower clubs in Hexham.
The celebration also consisted of interactive workshops and demonstrations.
SOS Group endeavours to make a positive difference through its active engagement in regional communities.
Over the previous year, the company has facilitated over 30 schemes, charities, and sports clubs.
