For the first time in more than 70 years, Bermuda’s annual delivery of Easter lilies to Windsor Castle will have a different recipient — King Charles III.

The King, who succeeded Elizabeth II last September, will receive them when they arrive in London.

Today the Governor, Rena Lalgie, continued the annual tradition of picking Easter lilies. This year they were selected from Windy Bank Farm in Smith’s and were carried on tonight’s British Airways flight to London.

They are expected to reach Windsor Castle in time for Good Friday.

This has been a good season for flowers, as Akil Simmons’s photographs of Easter Lilies, snapdragons and more at Locust Hall Farm, Devonshire, show. The bees clearly think so too.
