TV horticulturalist Monty Don thanked viewers and his furry friend Ned the dog while presenting his final episode of Gardeners' World, after more than two decades on air.

The head gardener on the long-running BBC TV series signed off from Longmeadow garden, where the show has been based for 16 years, on Friday.

"From myself, Ned, and Longmeadow it's the final goodbye," he said on the programme, adding it had been "a privilege and pleasure" to share his garden experiences with so many people.
