Marie Curie Memory Tree

The South Bank has another attraction this winter in the shape of a shiny new Christmas tree, but it’s not your average spruce. This 23ft fir is driven by festive memories: its ‘memory-powered’ lights get more twinkly with every Christmas story shared by the public on social media with the hashtag #LightUpXmas. The clever conifer comes courtesy of Marie Curie, and celebrates all the hard work their nurses do at this time of year (and all year round) to support people with terminal illnesses and their families.
