A pensioner who has tended one of Cornwall's loveliest gardens for 20 years has been included in a list celebrating people who make the UK a happier place.
George Mannell, 80, is one of 100 unsung heroes celebrated in the Independent on Sunday Happy List, which aims to be an alternative to the Sunday Times Rich List.
George first started looking after Chegwyn Gardens, St Agnes, in 1993. Since then he has introduced about 200 roses and thousands of daffodils, attracting visitors and raising thousands of pounds for charity.
Four others from Devon and Cornwall are also included on the list, published yesterday.
One is Richard Baber who for seven years has volunteered at Paignton Zoo crafting toys for the animals, including footballs for elephants and hammocks for baboons.
Leanne Grose, an amputee from Truro, was celebrated for designing a fitness DVD for others who have lost limbs, the elderly and overweight.
Leanne, 32, who lost her left leg to a rare form of bone cancer, has also written an autobiography and given birth to the child she was told she would never have.
The shop of Margaret Fitter, 74, of Helston, Cancer Funding for Cornwall, raised about £1 million in 12 years.
Tony Lea set up Bufferzone, an independent advocacy service, in Cornwall six years ago. It helps people with benefits, medical assessments, education, training and employment.
