Watch world-famous Sycamore Gap tree cut to pieces and removed by crane

This footage shows the world-famous Sycamore Gap tree being cut up and removed in pieces from the spot where it was chopped down.

Workers are continuing to move the historic tree, which damaged Hadrian's Wall after it was felled.

The 50ft tree, which stood tall next to the Roman wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland, was cut down in the early hours of 28 September.

Its stump will remain in place, as experts say new shoots could be generated, but the rest will be taken to a National Trust property where it will be “safely stored.

A 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s who were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, currently remain on bail.
