Watch Flora Day live online!

For the first time in its history, Helston Flora Day will be streamed live on the internet – allowing people all over the world to enjoy the famous annual event, even if they can’t be there in person.

Wendy Radford-Gaby, Managing Director of software development company Negys and a member of Helston Business Improvement Partnership, has bought two special cameras which will be positioned to capture Flora Day preparations in Coinagehall Street on Wednesday 7 May and all the excitement of the day itself on Thursday 8 May.

The technical team at Negys are busily working their technical magic to get these awesome cameras communicating through the interweb so everyone can around the world can watch!

Camera 1 is facing down toward The Monument and Camera 2 is facing up Coinagehall Street. There may even be a ‘Camera 3’ but this one is still under development and being tested so fingers crossed there will be 3 views of this historic occasion.

How can you help? Please share far and wide, with friends and family and keep using #FloraDay14 hashtag where ever you are in the digital world; Facebook, Twitter, Google+, you name it! Share, share, share and share some more. We will make #FloraDay14 trend on May 7th and 8th!
