Church group celebrates 125 years

The anniversary celebrations include an exhibition of uniforms

Jersey's Salvation Army is celebrating its 125th anniversary in Jersey in its £500,000 newly refurbished centre.

It is holding an exhibition of memorabilia and a flower festival at the Salvation Army hall in Minden Street, St Helier.

The four-day celebration marks the work the Salvation Army has done in Jersey since it was established in 1879.

The organisation was founded in London in 1865 by Methodist preacher William Booth.

A concert took place to mark the anniversary on Saturday night, supported by the St Helier Salvation Army band.

A special exhibition of uniforms, photographs and other memorabilia is on display until tomorrow, as well as a flower festival in the main hall.
