Terry Butcher plants tree in memory of his soldier son in drive to honour late Queen

England football legend Terry Butcher has joined a nationwide movement to plant trees in memory of the Queen, dedicating the shrub to the late monarch and of his war hero son.

The former Ipswich defender spoke of his pride at joining an initiative to plant one million trees to commemorate the life and service of Elizabeth II.

Butcher, capped 77 times by England, posed by the tree he planted as he emotionally opened up on his son Chris’ love of the army and the monarch, before he died in 2018 after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
