What locals claim is the UK's tallest handled Christmas tree is being erected for the 60th year running.
In 1959, a group of young men decided to brighten up the centre of Rhayader, Powys, at Christmas time with a giant tree in front of the town clock.
Every year since, volunteers head to the woods on the first Sunday of December to collect a 35ft tree now donated by Welsh Water and Elan Estate.
"It truly brings the town together," said volunteer Nicolas Evans.
The tallest decorated tree is billed as a 110ft (33m) tall redwood at Wakehurst Place, near Ardingly, Sussex.
