This Dalek has been welcoming customers to a garden centre.

The Dr Who baddy has been loaned to family-run Mayberry Garden centre in Portslade, and is on display until the end of the garden centre’s event which runs from June 1 to 9.

Customers can take photos with the replica for a suggested charity donation to raise money for the Martlets Hospice.

The centre will have their own plant doctor on hand every weekend, Martin Pett from Lewes, to advise on plant predicaments and common garden pests.

Mr Pett said: “I know a lot about dealing with vine weevil and slugs, but I think I might have met my match with this fellow.”
