Coronation robe - made of plants - goes on show at Salisbury Cathedral
It's been made as part of the Flower Festival there
A replica of the robe the Queen wore for her Coronation in 1953 has been made out of grasses and ferns for display at Salisbury Cathedral.
The incredible work by the flower arrangers at our Cathedral will be the centrepiece at the 2022 Flower Festival being held there next week (from Tuesday 10th May).
The robe's been put into place alongside an orb, sceptre and crown for a trial run, and is now being stored again ahead of the Festival.
WHAT CAN WE SEE?
Dyed pampas grass and gilded ferns have been used to make the robe.
It'll also be displayed with an altar cloth, created out of fabric used during the Coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1953.
The blue and gold cloth was recently found having hidden away in a chest for more than a decade.
WHAT'S THE FLOWER FESTIVAL?
The huge event at Salisbury Cathedral will see more than 450 flower arrangers displaying their work.
It'll be put together on Monday 9th May, ready for opening to the public on Tuesday 10th May.
The theme for this year's Festival is Celebration - in reference to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and Salisbury Cathedral's history.
The Festival runs until Sunday 15th May.
Tickets are on sale via the Salisbury Cathedral website.
