Plant Identification please

Whilst taking a quick walk in a local park I came across a section over grown with a kind of thistle looking plant that was covered in bees of every kind!

Anyone know what it is?

I will go back to it later to see if it seeds and collect some!

Good bumble and insect plant and apparently UK bees like it.
