## Caption

The Sycamore Gap Tree, a beloved UK landmark of a lone tree on Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, gained fame after appearing in the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and became a much-loved landmark.⁣
⁣
On September 28, 2023, it was illegally cut down, sparking widespread outrage. A teenage boy and a man in his 60s were arrested but later released; the motive remains unclear.⁣
⁣
The incident led to an outpouring of grief and tributes. Experts have since collected seeds and wood from the tree in hopes of growing saplings or creating a memorial to preserve its legacy.⁣
