Claire, Pam, Beau, and Edie Hartland, were among the first visitors to the event.

Shropshire Petal Fields, which offers the people the unique chance to walk through 30 acres of blooming flowers, will be open for 10 days.

Organiser Beth Heath, from Shropshire Festivals, said that around 1,000 people had visited on the first day on Friday – with around 10,000 expected over the event's ten-day run.

The fields, which have been planted by robot, belong to a farm based just outside Newport, which makes confetti.
