For the last 62 years, at a special ceremony in Norway, a pre-selected 50-60 year old pine tree is felled in front of the Mayor of Oslo, the British ambassador to Norway and the Lord Mayor of Westminster. The Christmas tree is then carried by ship over the ocean to England, eventually making its way to Trafalgar Square London.
Decorated in the traditional Norwegian fashion, the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree and Carols in London Trafalgar Square is one of the most popular Christmas light displays in London; it becomes the focal point of Trafalgar Square as crowds gather to sing Christmas carols and make merry.
The lights on the London Trafalgar Square Christmas tree will be first lit on Thursday 1st December at 6.00pm (subject to confirmation). The lights then remain on from midday until midnight each day right through the Christmas season. The ceremony of turning on the lights is preceded by a carol service at St Martin-in-the-Fields. The Christmas tree remains in London Trafalgar Square until Twelfth Night on 5th January 2012.
Each evening, organised carol singers and passers-by congregate around the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree to sing heartfelt renditions of traditional and more modern Christmas carols.
