Floral tributes to the Queen that were left at Sandringham have begun to be moved and prepared for compost to be used across the royal gardens
September 22, 2022 - 07:22 BST Chloe Best The Queen's garden staff have begun the process of moving floral tributes left on the Sandringham Estate, just 48 hours after her funeral took place.A photo was shared on the Sandringham Instagram account on Wednesday showing the garden team working in the dark to start clearing some of the flowers from the Norwich Gates at the estate, where mourners had gathered to pay tribute to the late monarch following her death on 8 September.
"This organic composted material will be used within the Royal Gardens on shrubberies and landscaping projects across the Royal Parkland."Floral tributes were left across the royal residences in the days after the Queen's passing, with any bouquets placed at Buckingham Palace later moved across to nearby Green Park.
Sandringham has long been a special place for the royals, as it is where they typically all gather to celebrate Christmas together each year. Like this story?
