A tree planting ceremony took place on Putney Common recently to mark National Tree Planting Week.

Members of the Putney Society and Wimbledon and Putney Common Conservators joined members of Wandsworth Council, who supplied the trees, for the event.

A total of 10 native trees, including Wild Cherry and Hawthorne, were planted in the ceremony.

They replace nine trees which were cut down by mistake last year.
