It was lovely to capture this image of The King and Prince of Wales planting the last tree in the @QGCanopy scheme. In 2021 I photographed QEII and The then Prince of Wales planting the first tree in this amazing scheme that saw over 3 million planted around the world 🌳

We are proud to share a beautiful song written by @KateGarnerMusic inspired by the #queensgreencanopy🌳🙏 "A tree is the beginning, each sapling & seed, strong & giving, the air that we breathe..." Kate is the daughter of the late Chas Hodges from the Cockney duo ‘Chas&Dave’❤️
When I wrote a song for the Platinum Jubilee, it was inspired by @QGCanopy I wanted to plant an oak tree, but had no room in my garden…thanks to @eco_oxford I have one planted in their gardens, helping the environment, in memory of Queen Elizabeth. #womeninhistory #plantatree
