Town's Christmas tree is lifted into place ready for the festival


* The lifting operation begins ...

Llangollen's official tree is now taking pride of place in Centenary Square ready for this Saturday's annual Christmas Festival.

It was finally lowered carefully into its fixing point this morning (Monday) by members of the Tidy Town Team assisted by a crew from Pengwern Hall Farm using special lifting machinery. The exercise was arranged by the Town Council and Christmas Festival Committee. 

This was actually the third attempt to put the 18ft tall fir tree in place.

Last Friday morning there was too much snow around the area of Glyn Ceiriog from where it was acquired to bring it safely back to Llangollen.

But following another technical hitch on Saturday it was all systems go this morning and much relief when it was finally put into position.      


* The team gets the tree upright ...


* It's inched into place ...


* Adjustments are made ...


* Final fixing takes place and the job is finished.
