At the war's end, π¬π§π³π΄relations were as strong as ever, and in 1947 the City of Oslo decided to send an annual gift to the British people as a reminder of our close friendship in our darkest hour. Ever since, the arrival of a π³π΄ spruce has marked the beginning of #Christmas.
A pleasure to help unveil a beautifully-crafted birdbath - commissioned by my mother livery, the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths - at @HampCourtPal today. Melissa Cole's design was approved by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. I hope many a feathered visitor will flock to it for years to comeπ¦ @Tweeting_Hammer @melissacole001
