Norwich is especially beautiful to walk around at the moment as the blooming of cherry blossom trees has turned the city into a pink paradise.

Blossom season in the UK is generally from March to May, though this year the start was delayed due to the driest February in 30 years and cold temperatures in March. 

Pops of pink began to appear across most parts of the country in April and the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) said that this year has the perfect conditions.

The charity said that the prevention of early flowering has lowered the risk of frost that is seen earlier in spring.

In turn, it means the blossom season could last longer and result in more fruit later in the year.

The heatwave last summer also had the perfect conditions for bud formation.

Beautiful spots in Norwich include the top of St Benedicts Street, with the backdrop of a red phone box, and outside The Church of Sir Peter Mancroft. 

As the season ends, the falling petals create a pink carpet of confetti.
