Each year since 1947, a Christmas tree has been given to the people of London from the people of
Norway in gratitude for Britain's support for Norway during World War II.
The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is usually a Norwegian spruce over 20 metres high and 50-60 years old. It is selected from the forests surrounding Oslo with great care in advance. The Norwegian foresters who look after it describe it fondly as 'the
queen of the forest'.
