The Norwegian Spruce in Trafalgar Square
Ever since 1947, Norway has donated a Christmas tree to Britain as a symbol of gratitude for assistance to the Norwegian people, at home and abroad, during WWII. King Håkon VII (who spent five years in London) and the many Norwegians exiled abroad in this time sought refuge in Great Britain during Nazi occupation. Britain not only provided a home for the multitudes of displaced Norwegians, but also sent Norwegian broadcasts to those in Norway who had successfully managed to protect their radios against confiscation. These broadcasts were vital sources of information to the Norwegian underground.
