23 bloomin' marvellous pictures as Southport Flower Show returns to Victoria Park for 100th year

Despite the temperamental weather Southport Flower Show got off to a good start when it returned to Victoria Park for its 100th anniversary.

The show which runs from August 15-18 impressed those in attendance with its vast range of show gardens, floral exhibits and prize winning vegetables.

Tv presenter Michaela Strachan known for her work with wildlife series such as The Really Wild Show and Springwatch was also in attendance to take in the natural beauty.
