Queen Elizabeth's Memorial Oak Tree

This Oak Tree was planted by Queen Elizabeth II on 22 July 1985 on the site of the original Oak Tree under which Queen Elizabeth I heard of her succession to the throne on 17 November 1558. Upon hearing that she was Queen, legend has it that Elizabeth quoted the 118th Psalm's twenty-third line, in Latin: "A Dominum factum est illud, et est mirabile in oculis notris" -- "It is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes."
