The massive cedar was put in the ground as a sapling by Queen Elizabeth II's grandmother in 1922. The Forestry Commission has released released a black-and-white photo taken at the time of the Royal planting. It shows Mary, who ruled as Queen consort from 1911-1936, dressed all white with a grand hat as she stands beside a woman holding the chest-high blue Atlas cedar tree. Today, 97 years later, the magnificent tree still stands, and has grown as tall as the historic country house it stands beside Westonbirt School in Westonbirt, Glos.
