I am currently working on a bit of a weekend project with my grandfather to restore his garden to its former glory. It would be a brilliant help if you could identify any of the plants in the following photos.

Photos are a bit shy??
all fixed I dont know what happened there they didn't post for some reason
Gladioli in the background, charming child, nasturtiums in the foreground in first pic. Gladys are perennial, nastys self seed; may have to pull some up if they get too thuggish, 2nd pic looks like some kind of Dahlia thingy - outside my field of knowledge.
Agree with artjak.
Gladiolus.

Dahlia.
that is a great help, thank you very much
Hello Gerard, agree with artjak.
What a lovely colourful garden, all the old favorites to bring back good memories.
Good luck with the project
Top photo, top left, looks like pink astilbe. Fern-like foliage and pink plumy floweheads, likes a damp shady corner.
