It was a soap reunion quite unlike any other as Coronation Street's iconic duo of Rita and Mavis, aka acting legends Barbara Knox and Thelma Barlow, were brought back together at the annual RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park on Wednesday.

The soap's legendary Rita actress Barbara was invited to the show as a rose has been named in her honour to celebrate her upcoming 90th birthday.
