BBC viewers were left sobbing as Monty Don opened his final ever episode of Gardeners' World. In September, the broadcaster and horticulturist announced he would be leaving the programme after 23 years.
On Friday (November 6), the 71-year-old fronted his final show from his garden, Longmeadow. Monty did not address his exit, but his presence was enough to leave viewers in tears.

Taking to X, one wrote: "Not me crying already because the first thing he went to was Aquilegia, a plant my mum bought me a couple of, and she always had a picture of up in the bathroom."
Another posted: "Watching the very last episode of Gardeners World now on the BBC. This show was always such a comfort to me. The end of an era."
"Monty don’s last gardeners world," commented a third, alongside several crying emojis.
Programme Legacy
The show has been a staple for viewers, with many expressing how much it meant to them over the years. The final episode marks the end of an era for the long-running programme.
