The day was chosen as it was the 70th day of the year, in what is the 70th year since the Queen’s accession in 1952.

In partnership with the National Association of Civic Officers, councils around the country also took part in the day’s event in the hope it would be close to a world record for simultaneous tree planting.

Coun Lawrence, said: “It is an honour to be able to represent West Lindsey and plant a tree in honour of Her Majesty’s incredible 70-year reign.

“West Lindsey residents are planting trees one after the other and I am thrilled so many people want to become part of the Queen’s Green Canopy.

“My congratulations go to Her Majesty for her incredible achievement and life, and I know many people in West Lindsey will join me in wishing The Queen many, many more years as our reigning monarch.”

Further tree planting ceremonies are planned throughout West Lindsey.
