A Windsor Castle garden renamed and redesigned to King Charles III's plans will open to the public for the first time later.
Entrance to the Venus Garden, formerly known as the East Terrace Garden, will be included as part of a standard visit to the castle until 13 September.
The garden was first laid out in the 1820s on the site of King Charles II's bowling green and has been reshaped by successive generations of the Royal Family.

It has intermittently been open to the public, mostly recently over weekends in the summers of 2020 and 2021.
Planning permission was granted to move a sculpture of Hercules and writhing serpent Achelous into the garden after it was removed from Kew Gardens in the autumn.
It had stood there 1963, having been bought by George IV in 1829 and first installed in the Windsor Castle garden in 1909.
