Seasonal flowers were arranged in silver-gilt centrepieces taken from the Grand Service with foliage from the Windsor Home Park and the Orchard Garden at the glasshouses in Windsor.

They are then delivered to hospices, elderly care homes, shelters, and many other beneficiaries within the local community.
