It was lovely to capture this image of The King and Prince of Wales planting the last tree in the @QGCanopy scheme. In 2021 I photographed QEII and The then Prince of Wales planting the first tree in this amazing scheme that saw over 3 million planted around the world 🌳
The Queen's Green Canopy retweeted
As the @QGCanopy project comes to end, The King and The Prince of Wales have planted an Acer tree in the gardens of Sandringham House – one of over 3 million that have been planted in Queen Elizabeth II’s name as part of the initiative.

No worries, legendary lyricist @SirTimRice plants a #tree for the QGC!❤️
“I am thrilled to be part of the nation’s tribute to Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty was an enduring figure in our lives & the #trees planted will grow & endure for future generations."🌳
"Trees in the landscape are an inspiration for the arts, evoking words and feelings from their everlasting presence and graceful backdrop to everyday lives."
The #EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony) winner has written some of our most loved musicals🎭
Thank you, Sir Tim! 💚🌳

When I wrote a song for the Platinum Jubilee, it was inspired by @QGCanopy I wanted to plant an oak tree, but had no room in my garden…thanks to @eco_oxford I have one planted in their gardens, helping the environment, in memory of Queen Elizabeth. #womeninhistory #plantatree
