Christmas tree arrives in Trafalgar Square

In accordance with annual tradition, a Norwegian Christmas tree has arrived in Trafalgar Square.It will be decorated with lights later, but they will not be turned on until a ceremony on Thursday evening.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of a spruce tree sent from Norway being erected in the famous central London square. Since 1947, a Christmas tree has been sent by Norway every year to thank Britain for its support during World War II. King Haakon VII sent the first tree as a token of his gratitude after he was forced to flee Norway and seek sanctuary in Britain when Nazi Germany invaded his homeland.

Rockerfeller Christmas Tree in contrast!!

did they pick the tree from a forest that was dead or dying?

That’s a Xmas tree not this!

Won't be long till it offends somebody...

Looks a bit... you know.

When does the rest of it arrive?

Bloody illegals!

That looks like half a Christmas tree 🎄 let’s hope it’s not as bad as last years embarrassment

I am surprised the BBC didn't try to block this.

TrafalgarsTree Will you be live tweeting?

I love the slightly surreal sense that headlines of a giant Christmas tree having somehow just stumbled in of its own a view or maybe got off at the wrong tube stop.

Hope it's better than last year's!!!

Should spruce up the place

What do street names tell you about Britain?Street names are literal signs of the times. Run your eye down a list of British streets and it quickly becomes clear that their names are a cartography of ideology and aspiration 'British streets' , do you mean streets that British put their names on?
