The “pathetic” state of the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree has prompted an online debate about the annual tradition.
The large Spruce tree, which is a gift from Norway in recognition of the UK’s help during World War II, was installed today and its threadbare foliage immediately got people talking.
One person joked: “I’ve always thought the Trafalgar Sq tree has forever been a sad pathetic sight. Time to call off this joke once and for all.
“Time for a tree that lifts the spirits instead of driving one to look for a bottle of spirits.”
