Totally mindless

We woke up today (Sept 28th) to the news that the famous Sycamore tree which gives its name to Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland had been cut down overnight.

The police have arrested a 16-year-old on suspicion of criminal damage. He's probably safer locked up at the minute, such is the real anger up here in the North-East at this mindless and irreparable act . www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66952980

Whilst this shot was taken just over a year ago, it wasn't properly processed until today so I hope that the admins of the 100x 2023 group will look sympathetically on my adding this to the group given the circumstances.

Latest update 30/9: the 16yr old has been released on bail, and a 60 yr old male 'is helping police with their enquiries'.
