The holm oak tree was planted in the community garden which is being created in St Chad's Church Field.

Vicar Rev Toby Hole performed the ceremony helped by Nathan Edwards and Rupert Allen who have been instrumental in the project.

The planting followed an all-age communion service in the church and the celebrations also included cake and prosecco.

"It was a delight to be able to mark and celebrate our Queen’s platinum jubilee and at the same time show people the tremendous work that is going on in our community garden,” he added.
