Take a look at one of Preston's quirkiest gardens, created by popular biker Shane I'anson

Tributes have been paid to one of Preston's biggest characters, who has died after a short cancer battle aged 71.
Speaking last year, Shane described how his garden creation started as he turned his life around.
The 71-year-old said: I came out of prison and said sod this. I was sick of staring at the cells four walls. I wanted to change my ways. 
The Liverpool native added: I wasnt too bad at restoring things and one of my neighbours brought some statues down in pieces and I said I can fix that."Speaking last year, Shane described how his garden creation started as he turned his life around.

His daughter Tracey, 44, remembered his love of painting, collecting and fixing items, as well as sitting in his garden to enjoy his handicraft.

Last year Shane's garden - one of the wackiest in the city - was featured in the Lancashire Post.

At the time he said: “I am a sucker for details and making things look right. The neighbours said they love it.”
