The Rockefeller Center’s iconic Christmas tree has landed in New York in time for the festive season to get underway.

The 74-foot Norway spruce was driven 144 miles from Massachusetts, and required a crane to get it into position in the Plaza.

It takes over 50,000 bulbs to light the tree, which has become a staple tourist attraction for visitors to the city at Christmas.

However, there’s still plenty of time for preparation, as it’s not expected to be switched on until 4 December.
