Sunday 11 September 2022 04:28 PM Tens of thousands honour the Queen in Greek Park trends now
Mourners flocking to central London to lay flowers at Green Park have been mucking in to tear off the plastic wrapping on thousands of bouquets laid down for the Queen to help royal gardeners in their mammoth job to clear it all up.
Incredible scenes of community spirit can be seen at the park by Buckingham Palace as it shows the endless lines of flowers, tributes, cuddly toys, candles and cards covering the green grass and walkways, with Royal Park staff seen heading to and from their trucks to continue laying down bouquets.
Now members of the public who have gone down to Green Park to both soak up the atmosphere and pay their respects for the late Queen Elizabeth II have started helping out the gardeners by removing the plastic wrap of bunches of flowers so the later job of turning them into compost is made much easier.
