'Maybe this and the music are the two things that really reflect their personality. 'So that was my aim. I also felt that it should come from all four nations, that they should all be represented, including Northern Ireland.'
Seasonal flowers from around the UK will adorn Westminster Abbey for the King's coronation, with arrangements of home-grown blooms and foliage that will bring "gravitas" to the occasion, the floral designer has said.
Boughs cut from flowering shrubs and trees from the five Royal Horticultural Society gardens will adorn the High Altar, including branches from the pair of Dawyck beech trees planted by the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip at RHS Wisley in 1978. Mr Connolly, who has held a Royal Warrant of Appointment to Queen Elizabeth II and the former Prince of Wales, said: "My overall vision is that the flowers are one of the things that can reflect the real characters of the King and Queen in this whole thing, and so they're simple garden flowers that are British, seasonal, like they might cut themselves from their own gardens.
Mr Connolly said he approached Flowers from the Farm and they said they would like to do it "as our gift to the King and Queen". "And so the colours are more serious I think. And we very much were inspired by the Cosmati Pavement and the High Altar itself with its wonderful colours." "When so many big events people go to are full of flowers that have been flown halfway around the world, this is British, this is grown in the soil of the kingdom."
