A year ago the former England and Manchester United footballer met King Charles wearing another of David Austin’s creation’s in his lapel – the King’s Rose.
This year, the pair met again at a garden display they collaborated on, with the help of veteran gardener Alan Titchmarsh.
It included an arrangement featuring the King’s Rose, the Sir David Beckham Rose and a third rose named after Titchmarsh.
The King’s Foundation Curious Garden aims to encourage people to “get curious” about gardening and was filled with gnomes, artwork, dangling plants, balls of yarn, jars of honey and even vodka.
