Royal Parks staff and volunteers began removing the floral tributes from the central London park on Monday, before transporting them to Hyde Park nursery
The Royal Parks, which include Green Park, Hyde Park, St James' Park, Regents Park and Kensington Gardens, have been flooded with floral tributes and other tokens to honour the Queen, who spent a historic 70 years on the throne.
A Royal Parks spokesperson said:"Our priority at the moment is to manage the huge volume of flowers and tributes that are being left in the Green Park Floral Tribute Garden."We will store any teddies and artefacts that have been left and will work closely with our partners to agree what we do with them over the next few months with discretion and sensitivity.
The King and Queen Consort said they were"moved beyond measure" by everyone who took the trouble to pay their respects to the Queen at Royal residences up and down the nation.
