| Description: | News in Brief: England, Battle Of Flowers. A Mediterranean-style carnival in the English Channel. The Isle of Jersey's 'Battle of the Flowers' wins fame for its lavish color and high spirits. Floats parade down street, people including beautiful young women wave from them. Then, a "fight" begins: people on a float decorated with flowers begin to throw the flowers at the crowd. Crowd throws some back, and even a marching band gets caught up in the childish fun. (It's like a snowball fight but with flowers.) | |
