A tree to remember those lost to Covid-19 has been planted in the Garden for the Blind at Harrow Lodge Park.
Havering Mayor John Mylod did the honours on Friday (April 23), watched by a number of volunteers who had been working on green space throughout the morning.
On the garden - which turns 60 in July and is also called the Secret Blind Garden - Cllr Mylod said: I can t believe that after all these years, it s still here. I m really pleased to be planting this tree, which is intended to remember those we ve lost, but also to think about happy times.
