The International Garden Festival
Today Her Majesty The Queen opened Britain's first International Garden Festival, set in a new riverside park on the banks of the Mersey.
A severely derelict stretch of land has been transformed in less than two years into the setting for the largest event of its kind since the Festival of Britain in 1951. Chris Kelly and Peter Seabrook introduce highlights of THE QUEEN'S visit and look at the international exhibits, theme gardens and the floral displays in the Festival Hall and International Pavilions.
