Leeds mum's anger as she gets M&S Mother's Day flowers that 'look like they came from a skip'

Leeds Leeds Live Marks and Spencer

A Leeds mum has shared her "disgust" after receiving "dead and snapped" Mother's Day flowers.

Council worker Wendy Hopkinson, who lives in the LS10 area, received a box of flowers on Sunday, March 18, from her three children. She opened them on Mother's Day morning around 8am, but was left "upset" when she found the flowers were dead, she claims.
