- Sir David Beckham wore the white bloom of his newly launched English shrub rose, a special commission from his daughter Harper to mark his recent 50th birthday.
- King Charles also met Dame Judi Dench, with whom he discussed the “extraordinary” Gaia sculpture in the Campaign to Protect Rural England’s garden, and interacted with Zinc, a cocker spaniel trained to detect plant diseases.
