Duchess Camilla
A tree planted by Britain's Duchess Camilla is to be replaced after it was stolen.
The duchess planted a Wedding Cake sapling at St Mary's Church in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, a week before her stepson Prince William married Duchess Catherine in 2011 but the tree was taken from the churchyard last month.
However, the Tetbury Evening Women's Institute, who donated the tree, have now said they will replace it.
President Chris Gibson said: "We were obviously very distressed that the tree has been stolen, and the site vandalised.
"When I reported this to our meeting in December there was an overwhelming response from our members that we should buy another tree, and that's what we are doing.
"It was blooming - flourishing at its site - but we are going to have to start again."
When she planted the Wedding Cake tree - which is so named due to its horizontal, tiered branches and star-shaped white flowers - in April 2011, Camilla told guests she hoped it would "remind everybody in Tetbury of a wonderful and special day".
Gloucestershire Police said the theft took place between 21-28 November and are appealing for information.
