The campaign which was run by family-run British garden centres saw residents from the local area asked to nominate a worthy group, garden, charity or hospice that has gone above and beyond to receive the tree in honour of the King’s coronation.

The school received the royal oak tree from Burford House Garden Centre which is to be planted and celebrated by the community as they watch the coronation CelebraTree grow year after year.

Local Julie Fletcher nominated the school in the competition saying: "My nomination is Burford School in Tenbury Wells. They had to have some of the trees taken down as they were diseased, so it would be nice if one went in place."

Paul Benson, manager of Burford House Garden Centre said; “To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, we wanted to bring the community together through nature.

"The CelebraTree campaign recognises the hardworking groups and individuals that make our community what it is. It symbolises the new monarch's love of plants and the environment and we hope the community enjoy watching the tree for many years to come.”
