The tallest knitted Christmas tree stands in the Heart of Newhaven – and anyone can go and see it until 22 December.

Volunteer Pat Wilson cut the ribbon at the official opening when the Newhaven Choir sang.

The leaves were crafted by an army of knitters from all over the world
The tree has 6,257 leaves and is 17’7” high or 536cm.

A spokesperson said: “The Tree and Jeannie can be seen until 22 December when the Heart is open and if you come on a Wednesday or Saturday morning the kettle will be on.”
