Digging deep: Sir Maurice Laing (centre) planted a millennium tree on behalf of the historic Totteridge Manor Association outside St Andrew's School in Totteridge Village on Saturday. Association committee member Tim Roberts said the last official tree planting, by the Totteridge war memorial, had marked the end of the Crimean War some 150 years ago. He said: "We only do it for special occasions and since I don't suppose many of us will see the next millennium we thought it was appropriate." Photo: JONATHAN GOLDBERG
