Thousands of gardening enthusiasts are set to descend on Cheshire for the start of the annual Royal Horticultural Society flower show on Wednesday.

The five-day festival at Tatton Park attracts gardeners from across Britain.

During the show a number of new plant cultivars will go on display to the public for the first time.

Around 100,000 visitors are expected to visit the 29-acre site near Knutsford which features a range of show gardens and trade exhibitors.
