✨This is the moment Trafalgar Square’s Christmas tree lights were switched on. Every year since 1947, Norway has sent a tree to Britain as a thank you for its support during World War Two. Standing at 20m (65ft), the tree, which is about 65 years old, was selected by experts and through a social media poll. It has been named "Ever Oslo". The tree will remain in Trafalgar Square until 5 January before being recycled. What do you think of the tree this year? 🤔🎄 BBC London #Christmas #ChristmasTr

🎄Trafalgar Square’s Christmas tree has been chosen and today it was felled in Norway! That tree will now start its journey to Trafalgar Square in the heart of London where it will stand proud. What do we know about the tree? Well, it’s normally a Norwegian spruce and stands about 66ft (20m) tall and decorated with vertical lights. Londoners haven’t always been complimentary of this gift in previous years - the tree has been criticised by some for all sorts of reasons, with some saying it looked

The Trafalgar Square Christmas gets a bit derided every year by some on social media, but this is the amazing historic story behind it! 🎄 In April 1940, the Germans invaded and occupied Norway. The British assisted in trying to retake Norway and then working with their Resistance movement and giving safe haven to the Norwegian King and government in exile. Since 1947, to pay thanks, a Norwegian Spruce has been sent from the forests around Oslo to London. It is then decorated in the traditional,
