Euston Station welcomed ‘a host of golden daffodils’ earlier today, as part of a new campaign to encourage people to visit the Lake District.

The campaign was organised by The Wordsworth Trust and in partnership with Virgin Trains, and involved transforming Euston Station, the gateway to the Lake District from London, into an homage to the Victorian poet.

A three-metre daffodil garden was installed, and commuters were invited to take a ‘seat and a selfie’ amongst the blooms.

Surprised commuters and holiday-makers were also treated to an impromptu performance of William Wordsworth’s famous poem ‘Daffodils’, led by comedian and Grumpy Old Man star Arthur Smith.

More than a hundred children and their parents, hailing from all over the country, joined Smith to recite the words of Wordsworth’s legendary poem.

The Wordsworth Trust is inviting people to ‘Love Wordsworth Country’ and share their memories and passion for the Lake District via its dedicated webpage.
