Spring has sprung, culminating in a magical display at the Chelsea Flower Show. Commencing on Monday 20 May, day one of the annual showcase welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London.
Greeted by the President of the Royal Horticultural Society, Keith Weed, the couple enjoyed a day out in the sunshine, marvelling at the resplendent and innovative gardens on display.

King Charles enjoyed an animated conversation with TV presenter and gardening sensation, Alan Titchmarsh.
Queen Camilla was given a tour of the Bridgerton Garden. According to the official RHS website, the space is inspired by the character Penelope Featherington and symbolises her "journey from being a wallflower to embracing her true self."
Her Majesty was particularly delighted to see the wicker sculptures of her beloved Jack Russells, Bluebell and Beth. Created by weaver Emma Stothard, they made their debut at the Highgrove Gardens Shop.
King Charles appeared in good spirits as he toured the gardens. His Majesty was recently announced as the next Patron of the Royal Horticultural Society.
The royal couple posed with pupils of the Sulivan Primary school as they visited the No Adults Allowed Garden, that the children helped co-design.
