I know it's "only" a tree and worse things happen every day (I read at least one news report yesterday that made me cry) but that's still a blow and just a really shitty thing to do, especially as it will have taken quite a lot of planning and effort.
I live in the north east and everyone has been talking about it today. I visited it quite a few times over the years and genuinely feel a profound sense of loss over it. It's not like a building or something that could be rebuilt, it's just gone forever. Devastating.

This really is a great loss. It was a true, natural icon of Northumberland. The landmark I pointed out to people most often.
I do hope funding can be secured to fill the void left behind.

What is wrong with people. I was just telling a friend to go see that spot and that specific tree recently.

How does a 16 year old cut down such a big tree
