Dame Mary Berry and Bridgerton cast among celebrities at Chelsea Flower Show


Dame Mary Berry and cast members from the hit Netflix show Bridgerton are among the celebrities who have paid a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show.
The former Great British Bake Off judge, 89, was photographed in the Bridgerton garden, joined by Hannah Dodd, who plays Francesca Bridgerton in the series, and Ruth Gemmell who portrays her mother, Lady Violet.


Dame Mary also visited the National Garden Scheme garden, joined by the Chelsea Pensioners, who are retired soldiers of the British Army.


The TV chef is the president of the scheme, which gives people access to over 3,500 private gardens in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.


Elsewhere, Dame Judi Dench was seen meeting naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packham at the garden show.


The Chelsea Flower Show regular also visited the Octavia Hill Garden, sponsored by Blue Diamond Garden Centres and the National Trust.


Another visitor to the site was Dame Joan Collins who cut an elegant figure in black sunglasses and a blush-coloured summer hat and jacket which had a flower fastened on it.


Game Of Thrones actress Indira Varma unveiled the WaterAid Garden at the flower show and posed with an umbrella made from climate-resilient flowers.


The centrepiece of the garden is a 3.6 metre tall rainwater-harvesting pavilion that is inspired by the charity’s work to help provide access to clean water across the globe.


Elsewhere Dame Joanna Lumley was seen in a stylish blue hat, joined by The Great British Bake Off judge Dame Prue Leith and celebrity chef Marcus Wareing.
The Gentlemen star Joely Richardson also attended and was photographed in the Burncoose Nurseries Garden.
The world famous show opens to the public on Tuesday.
