Every year since 1947, the people of Norway have given a Christmas tree to the people of Britain, in recognition of the support offered by Britain during the war.
And back when we were kids it was a source of great excitement seeing it for the first time, the sort of thing they would make a big fuss about on Blue Peter.
But there was something about this year’s tree that got people talking. See if you can spot it.
