Hey can anyone identify these plants and let me know if they're weeds please?

You mean the ones round the scabious? Geum urbanum, wood avens/herb bennet. Prolific seeders as you’ve found out.

Only you can decide if they’re weeds, it’s a personal taste thing. A weed is a plant where you don’t want it.

Wood avens spreads like mad so I'd get rid of it to be honest. It isn't particularly pretty and it's little seed heads have hooks on them too, and you get them stuck in your clothes.

Loosen the roots with a trowel. It’s very easy to give a good tug and just pull the stems off.
