Pupils plant trees in honour of Queen's serviceÂ
Staff and students from Westover Primary School helped tree wardens, local councillors and Portsmouth City Council Arboriculturalist plant more than 100 native tree whips in the copse near the Geese Enclosure in Tangier Field, Milton.Â
Two silver birch, two rowan and a hazel, which were donated by Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan, were also planted as part of the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy (QCC) project which honours HRH's  lifetime of service.
