We came across a striking looking flower hidden in our friends garden
amongst the aquilegias. Can anyone identify it please?

Hmm. It's a pity the camera decided to focus on the leaf at the expense
of the flower! From the leaf I'd suggest globeflower (Trollius
europaeus) , but it doesn't seem to have quite enough petals. But the
centre of the flower suggests it is some member of the buttercup family,
so globe flower is probably right.
