A celebrity under every leaf at flower show
Media day at Britain’s Chelsea Flower Show can be a truly surreal experience when former Beatle Ringo Starr rubs shoulders with Britain’s national sailing team and “Weakest Link” TV presenter Anne Robinson launches a garden for Alzheimer sufferers.
The world’s most famous flower show is bedecked for the day in some very unlikely finery — TV soap stars, interior designers and even donkeys, chickens and a Shetland pony are on display. No gimmick is too outrageous.
