South Belfast school children upset at trees being chopped down have placed ribbons along the lane where they once stood.
The Department of Infrastructure removed a number of trees along a path in the Stranmillis area beside the River Lagan as part of site clearance and investigation works in the Belfast Tidal Flood Alleviation Scheme.
The move saddened many local residents who felt that another approach could have been taken by the Department and dozens gathered at the site as local school children tied ribbons on the nearby railings in honour of the trees that were taken away.
