TL;DR
Queen guitarist Brian May donated 3,000 daffodil bulbs to brighten Elstead’s church green, but the Parish Council blocked plans to extend the planting on safety grounds (sight lines/traffic considerations), offering alternative sites instead; May said he reluctantly canceled next year’s bulb delivery.
