A HEREFORDSHIRE Christmas tree has been delivered safely to the Prime Minister’s doorstep.
The giant fir tree, now standing proudly outside Number 10, was grown by David and Susan Brown, who run Christmas tree company Festive Forestry Services from their home in Frome Grove, Ledbury.
The couple were chosen to provide the Downing Street tree after their family-run company claimed victory at the British Christmas Tree Growers Association (BCTGA) competition earlier this year.
Festive Forestry Services were joint winners in the best fir competition, but went a step further by landing the champion title.
Last year, Herefordshire company Dinmore Hill Christmas Trees, based in the village of Dinmore, was chosen to provide the PM’s festive foliage.
