The Queen's Visit to Birmingham - Her Majesty Planting an Oak in the Grounds of Warwick Castle, 1858. 'The Queen, taking the Earl of Warwick's arm, walked across the fine lawn upon which the Yeomanry band was stationed. The Royal party then went towards the river underneath the beautiful cedars, and on a lovely slope the Queen planted an oak which Lord Warwick took from the hand of a servant. Prince Albert, at a suitable distance, planted a "Weliingtonia;" and in these operations Mr. Spink, gardener to the Earl of Warwick, and Mr. Cope, gardener to Sir W. W. Wynn, of Wynstanley, had the honour of assisting'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
