Christmas trees from the Great Park, Windsor

About 10,000 people who buy Christmas trees this year will never know that they are from the Greak Park at Windsor, Berks, which supplies Covent Garden and other markets with a great number of trees each year. Some of the larger trees (up to 30ft high) decorate famous London landmarks, such as St. Paul's Cathedral and many of the West End's large stores are also supplied with trees from the park.

Photograph shows some of the Christmas trees, from the Great Park, Windsor being loaded for transportation to a central area from where they are dispatched to markets.
