East Devon District Council have donated an Oak tree to Honiton, to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

In March, the council announced that there would be 70 oak trees planted in East Devon this year, one for each year the Queen has been on the throne.

A statement from Honiton Town Council said: "Honiton Town Councillors and residents are working together to provide the Honiton community with a memorable bank holiday weekend to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's remarkable achievement of being the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.

"To mark this memorable occasion East Devon District Council has provided Honiton residents with a commemorative Oak tree, Quercus Robur. The Queen's Jubilee Working Group opted for this to be planted in The Glen where it can be enjoyed for many years by all residents."
