    A few fans have suggested a wor flags tribute to the untimely passing of that iconic tree.

    There’s a lot of outpouring of emotion evident on this one.

    Rainforests being destroyed every day for decades without a whisper yet one little tree in Northumberland gets chopped down and people start pretending they worked for greenpeace all their lives.

    I'm not condoning it but seriously everyone is bullshitting themselves with the outpouring. It's just a tree at the end of the day

    Don't get me wrong the kids an arsehole but there's far bigger problems than some old tree near a hill being felled.

    What a weird thing to do

    When you were 16 did you run out chopping down trees for a laugh?

    Btw

    What the **** is the sycamore tree

    It's just a tree

    Shouldn't the attraction be... you know, Hadrian's ****ing Wall? <laugh>

    It's like going to the Great Wall of China and focusing on a local bush

    Me and a few mates used to go felling but we didn't target famous landmarks.

    not sure if the lumberjack is on the forum or not but he’d probably justify with some chavvy comment about it being a laff or something.

    Something really weird about this, obviously cut down with a saw not an axe yet from all the pics i have seen not one speck of sawdust around the stump or on the trunk.
    This 16yo did a really good job of cleaning up after himself.
