On Thursday, the Countess of Wessex joined children from Grange Park Primary School to plant an elm tree that will form part of a UK-wide canopy marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

After planting the tree, the Countess of Wessex presented the children with commemorative Jubilee coins to mark the successful completion of their Junior Forester Awards.

The Countess of Wessex wore her Max Mara coat with a brown turtleneck top and her Prada ankle boots.
