Former groundsman at Lancashire County Cricket Club Peter Marron has flown from Manchester to Miami to advise on the upkeep of the first lawn on a cruise ship.

The newly built liner Celebrity Solstice, which weighs 122,000 tonnes will have a lawn covering 1,300sq m with a base of volcanic pumice. It will be used for golf and bowls, and to hold picnics.
