Trafalgar Square Christmas tree
Student demonstrators after leaving the main demonstration in Parliament Square and also in Whitehall, enter Trafalgar Square on the way out. A small number of people suddenly turn up and make a fire under to the famous Trafalgar Square 20 metres high Christmas Tree. However the Norwegian spruce appears to be fire retardant and the fires do not spread much into the tree. Riot police ultimately surround the tree and put out the remaining fire, thus saving the Christmas tree. Trafalgar Square, London, UK, 09/12/2010
