Sir David Attenborough has planted an oak tree in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II to officially open a new Platinum Jubilee woodland in Richmond Park.
The famed naturalist and TV presenter, 96, described Elizabeth II as a “great lover of trees” and “very fond” of the Royal Parks, and said the new wood was a fitting tribute to her memory.
The oak is one of 70 new broadleaved trees - one for each year of the Queen's reign - in the new woodland.
