What a melon! Prince Philip got one in memoriam, Posh chose one instead of a cake... how would YOU get a slice of the carved watermelon craze? One might not have expected to see a watermelon nestled among the flowers and photographs left outside Windsor Castle in memory of Prince Philip - but it was certainly the juiciest tribute. The work of talented fruit carver Aree Nakarintrakupt, it was painstakingly carved into petals and engraved with the words 'Prince Philip, rest in peace'. Above, a picture of a crown had been delicately etched. Watermelons are soaring in popularity as sculptures or in place of birthday cakes. Victoria Beckham is a big fan. She celebrated her 47th birthday at the weekend with a stunning piece of watermelon art that had been carved into delicate roses. Such works of art make it easy to forget watermelon tastes good, too. Rich in vitamin C, copper, potassium and magnesium, it contains just 9 calories per 30g slice.
