A WEDDING cake tree which was planted to honour the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has been stolen.

The thief uprooted the tree from the churchyard of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin and St Mary Magdalen on Church Street, at some point between 21 – 28 November.
The tree belongs to Tetbury Town Council and Gloucestershire Police is asking for anyone who might have information about the theft to contact them on 101 quoting incident number 99 of 5 December.
Callers can contact the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org. Information which leads to an arrest or charge may be rewarded.
