Experts have said that new shoots are expected to grow from the world-famous Sycamore Gap tree, but it will never be the same again.

The 300-year-old tree, next to Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, was felled overnight on Thursday in what police believe was an act of vandalism.

A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage in connection with the felling of the tree, which was looked after by the Northumberland National Park Authority and the National Trust.
