AYCLIFFE villagers are celebrating winning third place in the Britain in Bloom contest.
Representatives of the Aycliffe Action Group, which organises the displays, travelled to London's Guildhall to hear the results.
Councillor Billy Blenkinsopp said: "The result is excellent for the village."
The prize, a bronze plaque, will probably go on display in the village hall.
