Edward plants Jubilee tree in Kenya close to where his mother first became Queen

The Earl of Wessex has planted a tree in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee – close to where his mother was staying in Kenya when she acceded to the throne.

Edward placed a Pondo tree sapling in the ground, covered its roots with soil, and sprinkled it with water from a can at the Aberdare Open Fields in the Aberdare National Park.
