The King’s Christmas Broadcast features donated Christmas tree.
The King’s Christmas Broadcast was filmed in the Fitzrovia Chapel, London.
Formerly the chapel of Middlesex Hospital, it is now a space for quiet reflection, discovery and celebration, connecting diverse communities from all faiths or none.
In 1928, His Majesty’s grandfather, King George VI, laid the foundation stone of the building.
The featured Christmas tree was donated to Croydon BME Forum and Macmillan Cancer Support’s ‘Can You C Me?’ project and will be placed in the Royal Trinity Hospice, Clapham, the oldest hospice in the United Kingdom.
