Iscoyd Park owner, Phil Godsal said the Queen's Canopy initiative provides a to commemorate a "unique" part of British history.

He said: "As an Association, Historic Houses is keen to promote the Queen’s Green Canopy campaign across our membership, and at Iscoyd Park we are planting five separate groups of trees in all as part of the ‘Plant a tree for the Jubilee’ project.

"We were delighted to welcome the Vice Lord Lieutenant and the pupils from the local pre-school to our ceremonial planting, and it was fantastic to see how enthusiastic everyone was about the campaign.

"The Queen’s Green Canopy initiative is an exciting and imaginative way to commemorate what may be a unique event in our nation’s history, a Platinum Jubilee, and we were very pleased to play our own small part in creating a true legacy."

The pre-school pupils, who are aged between two and four years of age were given smaller oak trees to plant.

Park principal Nicci Fiddy added: "Our theme for the coming term is all about growing, so we were very excited to be asked to take part in the planting.

"We will be doing our own seed planting very soon and talking about trees, growing, the seasons, and the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations,.

"The ceremony at Iscoyd Park was the perfect opportunity for the children to combine all the themes we’ll be looking at in the next few weeks."
