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.
