The Manchester Flower Festival has added a riot of colour to the city's streets with pink elephants and an Eiffel Tower covered in greenery.

The theme to this year's free festival is Manchester and Other Great Cities Around the World.

As well as the home city, it celebrates Mumbai, Paris, Marrakesh, Amsterdam and New York.
