This is the incredible scene as 14 million multi-colored tulips burst into bloom at a beauty spot just five minutes from the Queen's Sandringham Estate.

The striking flowers are spread across 28 acres - the equivalent of 14 football fields - to create an amazing sea of red, yellow and purple.

Some 8,000 people are set to visit the blooming fields from April 21 to the next ten days.

Planted in October last year, the tulips sit in Hillington, England - around three miles from the Sandringham Estate.

The tulips were planted by local farmer Mark Eves and organized by Norfolk Hospice Tapping House.

Tickets to visit the fields were priced at £5 ($6.53) for adults and £3 ($3.92) for children and have now sold out.

Sophie Hooker, marketing manager for Tapping House, said: "It's really striking. Once you see it you don't believe how big it is.

"People have been stopping on the side of the road to have a look at it."
