Throughout Thursday, a team worked with chainsaws to cut the tree into manageable sections that could be transported to a truck.
The Sycamore Gap tree was regarded by many as an integral part of north-east England. Its felling two weeks ago prompted an outpouring of distress, mixed with fury at the pointlessness of the vandalism.
