This tree on The Wrekin has become a beautiful haven for people remembering loved ones over Christmas.

The Tree of Remembrance is covered with baubles and other decorations, many paying tribute to people who have passed away.The idea was born three years ago when a group of regular walkers were on one of their trips to the summit and thought it would be nice to decorate one of the fir trees. Linda Chadwick said:"Many people come up here for some peace and quiet and to remember those who have passed away. We decided to invite people to put a memory to a loved one on the tree in the form of a bauble or other decoration."
Last year the group added battery lights to the tree to come on in the morning and this year decided to have them on at night as well."We tidy around the tree every day and will take the decorations away after Christmas," she said.
