A floral tribute to King Charles has been created in Harrogate.

North Yorkshire Council's parks team created the eye-catching display on Stray land on Montpellier Hill. It is currently behind railings, which will be removed on Saturday's coronation day.

The parks team made the royal cypher using a technique called carpet bedding, which involves using plants so compact and tightly knitted that the result looks like a woven carpet. The display will stay in place for 12 months.

A council spokesperson said:

"The display is made up of more than 15,600 plants, including sedum, sempervivum and ajuga, which are all compact plants ideal for this type of display.
"The temporary fencing will be removed first thing on Saturday morning to enable people to enjoy the display fully."
