Sycamore Gap pair face sentencing over felling of ancient tree – live updates

Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers due to be sentenced today after damage to famed tree near Hadrian’s Wall The tree’s value was initially assessed as £622,191, while damage to Hadrian’s Wall was calculated to be £1,144. Richard Wright KC, prosecuting, said the value of the tree has been disputed, and that the lowest figure the Crown would agree with was £458,000. This iconic tree can never be replaced. It belonged to the people. It was a totemic symbol, for many; a destination to visit whilst walking Hadrian’s Wall, a place to make memories, take photos in all seasons; but it was also a place of sanctuary – a calming, reflective space that people came to year after year. Alongside partners, it was clear in the aftermath of the felling how much its loss impacted on the nation, with an outpouring of love and emotion. I’m from Australia and have only ever seen the tree in photographs. To say I’m sickened is putting it mildly… my heart actually hurts. Continue reading...
