The Chelsea Flower show opened its gates to royalty and celebrities on Monday, with dogs, unusually, taking the spotlight.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla were among the first to tour the gardens on display, being joined by famous figures like football icon David Beckham and actress Cate Blanchett.

This year's event favours rewilding and sustainability, with mossy paving, native planting and gravel paths.

Designers leaned into natural landscapes shaped by climate change and a growing desire to reconnect with nature.
