We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.
Just had to tell a doctor to fck off. .
Couldn't understand her thick African accent and so she began shouting the instructions,

This was the England of my boyhood when we didn’t have:-
Machetes
Rape gangs
Acid attacks
Honour killings
Arranged marriages
Growing anti semitism
Cousin marriages
Polygamy
Halal
FGM
County lines
Jihadis
Remember, people were NEVER asked for their consent & NEVER gave it
