Laura Topp writes: A garden dedicated to George Harrison is to feature at this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
The outside space has been co-created by the former Beatle's widow Olivia and garden designer Yvonne Innes and depicts four periods of his life.
A bicycle in rough grass coupled with a vegetable plot represents Harrison's childhood, while flowers in various bright colours represent his time in the Beatles during the 1960s.
This section will contain a large glass sun as a tribute to Harrison's song Here Comes the Sun. It is also going to feature the names of his other various tracks, the Daily Telegraph reports.
In addition, there will be areas which have been designed to represent his spirituality and the later part of his life.
Speaking to the newspaper, Ms Innes said: "I knew what an amazing landscape gardener George was. I also realised few people knew this side of him and decided to design a narrative garden of his life and passing over to the next life."
Harrison died in 2001 after losing his battle with cancer. The singer-songwriter produced a number of well-loved Beatles songs including While My Guitar gently Weeps and Taxman, as well as various solo hits including My Sweet Lord.
