- Trafalgar Square Tree Lighting Ceremony
Trafalgar Square Tree Lighting Ceremony
Since 1947 the people of Norway have provided London with a tree out of gratitude for the support Britain gave the country in World War II. This year is no different and the annual tree lighting ceremony will take place in Trafalgar Square on the 1 December.
This is the 65th year London has been presented with a Christmas tree from Oslo in Norway.
The tree will be decorated in traditional Norwegian style with hundreds of white lights. The lighting of the tree helps mark the start of the festive season in the capital.
The tree provides a focal point for the Christmas Carol singing programme which runs from 5 to 22 December.
The tree will remain in Trafalgar Square until 5 January 2011 when it will be taken down for recycling.
