Trees were planted by HRH The Duke of Gloucester with Ambassador Nagamine, Mr Loyd Grossman, Chairman of The Royal Parks, with Mr Keisaku Sandy Sano, Chairman, Sakura Cherry Tree Project, and children from Robinsfield Infant School.
Following the ceremony, children from George Eliot Primary School impressed guests by their rendition, in perfect Japanese, of Sakura Sakura, perhaps the most famous song about cherry blossom.
