The Lord-Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight has planted an oak tree at the County Showground in Northwood, to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Part of the Queen’s Green Canopy tree-planting project, the planting followed an invitation from the Royal Isle of Wight Agricultural Society.

Susie Sheldon is President of the organisation and this was the Royal Agricultural Society's first Queen's Canopy tree on the Isle of Wight.

Mrs Sheldon told the County Press the Royal Agricultural Society was leading the way for the environmental project, in the Queen's name.

Graham Biss, vice chairman and honorary treasurer, said: "This is a great campaign because everyone can get involved.

"Whether you have your own garden, or are involved in a community planting scheme, this is a fitting testimony to the dedicated service that the Queen has given to the nation."

A single tree can be home to hundreds of species of insect, fungi, moss, mammals, and plants.

A mature oak is estimated to be home to as many as 500 different species of wildlife.

The Queen and The Prince of Wales planted the first Jubilee tree in the grounds of Windsor Castle in March, to mark the project's launch.
