The Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is celebrating 25 years this year, and opened this morning.

An average of 130,000 people attend the show every year, and this year organisers expect this number to be higher than ever.

On display this year, there will be lots of themed events to mark the anniversary including silver anniversary floristry, historic gardens and scarecrows celebrating the past.
