Blessing of the Sea

I seen that this happens every year, but have never seen it until today. I am not religious at all but it was a nice service.

There were some hymns and prayers, then the flowers were taken to the sea's edge and thrown in to the water. What was quite amusing was that the kid threw them into the sea like a frisbee, and then punched the air when he managed to throw them in to a wave about to break!
