These stunning cliff-top fields of daffodils glowing in the sunlight capture the sheer beauty of the flowers which inspired poet William Wordsworth's most famous work. The Romantic writer's 1804 verse known as 'Daffodils' described how ‘They stretch'd in never-ending line/ Along the margin of a bay’ as he strolled in the Lake District. This recent photograph shows the blooms, traditionally seen as a sign of spring, in a variety of shades when seen from the sky in Montrose, Angus. Lines of the flowers could be seen across the clifftops overlooking the North Se where farmers grow them to sell to florists and supermarkets.
