Christmas Tree from Oslo to London

A majestic fir tree from the forest outside Oslo began a sentimental journey to London on Friday, where it will do service as the city's Christmas Tree in Trafalgar Square.
It's the 59th year in a row that Oslo has supplied London with a towering Christmas tree for outdoor display. The tree-tradition started shortly after World War II ended.
You can ask just about anyone you like in London, and they will know the tree is a gift from Norway and Oslo.
I think Rotterdam and Antwerpen gets a tree as well.
