The tree planting was comparatively well covered. Her Majesty has now planted a total of I think 5 in the ceremonial area (the grounds of the Govenor General's Residence), and holds the record. The latest tree was quite a large one and already firmly in the ground, leading to (I'm sorry to say) some snarky media comments (they apparently expected HRM to operate the hole digger and then the front loader)- but the Queen showed herself to be a woman of strength and vigour by wielding a number of shovels-full of topsoil better than most of the sickly reporters present would even know how. I don't know how the little kid made out but hopefully he got something to eat.
