As we said earlier, it has been a busy day with the prosecution ploughing through a wealth of witness statements and analysis of ANPR Camera and mobile phone cell sites.

In short, Daniel Graham's car and phone were both monitored travelling towards and then away from the Sycamore Gap site on the night of 27 September, with a video allegedly of the felling being filmed on his phone at the coordinates for the tree.

Jurors were shown the video, and a clip of it can be seen at the top of this feed, while you can read our round-up of today's activities here.

Also:

• The National Trust and Historic England detailed the importance of the tree and its potted history, as well as the £1,144 worth of damage done to stone on the Roman wall
• What is believed to be the final photo of the tree intact, taken at 17:20 on 27 September by hiker Alice Whysall-Price, was shown to jurors, as was bodyworn footage captured by the first police officer at the scene the following morning
• A forensic botanist said there was "very strong evidence" a wedge of wood pictured in the boot of Mr Graham's Range Rover had come from the Sycamore Gap tree

The trial will resume at 10:00 tomorrow.

Court has now ended for the day with a succession of agreed facts closing the session out.

The trial will resume at 10:00 BST tomorrow.

The 37th agreed fact concerns a very short video showing the two defendants using a chainsaw to chop up a tree.

Mr Graham is holding the phone camera like he is taking a selfie, while Mr Carruthers uses a chainsaw to slice at a fallen tree behind him.

The video was recorded on 17 August 2023, just over a month before the Sycamore Gap tree was felled.

Prosecutors say this is proof the accused knew how to chop down a tree, although the men told police they had no experience of such actions.

Another agreed fact is that the Apple iPhone 13 on which the video of the felling was recorded belonged to Daniel Graham.

It was seized from a jacket pocket at Mr Graham's caravan when he was arrested on 31 October, Ms Brown said.

The defendant was able to give officers the correct passcode to unlock it, jurors hear.

Forensic botanist Dr Mark Spencer was asked to look at a picture of the wedge of wood in the rear of Mr Graham's car and compare it to the felled tree, the court hears.

In his report, Dr Spencer concluded there was "very strong evidence to support the hypothesis that the wedge of wood depicted in the image/video [found on Mr Graham's phone] originated from the felled tree at Sycamore Gap".

Ms Brown said he also investigated whether another source of the wood could be found but there was "no evidence" it came from any other location.

Another agreed fact is that the police cut two "slabs" from the tree for forensic testing.

One was taken from the stump, the other from the base of the felled tree, Ms Brown says.

A black Range Rover caught on ANPR cameras heading to and from Sycamore Gap on the night of 27 September 2023 was also confirmed to belong to Daniel Graham, the court hears.

A police expert examined the vehicle, in particular the boot, Ms Brown says.

A police officer investigating the felling used Google maps to plot a route from Mr Graham's home to Sycamore Gap, the court hears.

Three routes were suggested, one being 28.7 miles and 39 minutes, another estimated to take 44 minutes and a third 42 minutes, with all three ending on the A689 towards Sycamore Gap.

Sycamore Gap sits in the Northumberland National Park, west of Hexham and Newcastle and east of Carlisle.

The jury are now being given agreed facts, a list of statements that are not disputed by either side.

They are being read by prosecutor Rebecca Brown and include the dates of birth of the defendants and their addresses in Cumbria.

The court also hears Mr Carruthers is a father-of-two who has no previous convictions, cautions or reprimands recorded against him.

Sycamore Gap sits within the Northumberland National Park at Once Brewed near Hexham, Ms Brown tells jurors.

Maps have been created for jurors using Ordnance Survey information, the court hears.

Prosecutor Richard Wright KC is now re-examining Ms Sutherland, the police intelligence analyst.

Picking up from the questions from Mr Knox about phone data from a third man, Mr Wright asks her if, at any point that night between 23:00 and 01:30, the man's phone was picked up by any sites east of Carlisle towards Sycamore Gap.

Ms Sutherland said no.

The man's phone also called a pizza restaurant in Carlisle that night, she said.

Mr Knox continues to question Ms Sutherland about the calls made from Mr Carruthers' phone to another man, with that man then making calls to other people over the course of the night.

Now Andrew Gurney, representing Mr Carruthers, has taken over questioning Ms Sutherland.

She has confirmed she compiled her documents based on what other officers said was relevant.

Ms Sutherland said she was not aware of any other way a phone could detach from the network, as Mr Graham's did that night, other than it being turned off or put on airplane mode.

She also said she had not come across any messages or calls suggesting Mr Graham lent his Range Rover to anyone else, but she also said she did not search the phone herself.

Ms Sutherland said she also could not say who was using a mobile phone from the data.

She said of all the devices examined, Daniel Graham's was the only one that had the video of the felling actually recorded on it.

OK, the jury are back and we resume with Christopher Knox, representing Mr Graham, questioning Northumbria Police intelligence analyst Amy Sutherland who compiled the sequence of events.

She said she analysed voice calls and data sessions from the three phones mentioned in our post at 14:46.

Ms Sutherland confirmed Mr Carruthers' phone was connected to a cell mast in Carlisle at 16:24 on 27 September, and then at Brampton, which is closer to Sycamore Gap, when three calls were made from the defendant's phone with one at about 17:00 to Mr Graham's phone.

Mr Carruthers also made a voice call at 17:45 to another man, the court heard, in the Brampton and Low Row area.

Ms Sutherland said the pattern shows his phone "potentially" could have been in the Haydon Bridge area, near Hadrian's Wall, and between three masts at that time.

Sorry about this folks, there is a delay in proceedings while the barristers make some legal arguments.

Under contempt of court rules, we can only report what the jury hears for fairly obvious reasons.

We will get back to the trial as soon as we can.

It's worth noting at this point the sheer amount of public and media interest in this case, with the press box in courtroom one filled to bursting.

Several major national newspapers and broadcasters are attending, as are local press and the Press Association.

Mr Knox is now showing Ms Sutherland one of the documents she created when preparing the case.

It is a detail of cell site information for three phones, the two belonging to Mr Graham and Mr Carruthers and one from a third man.

Mr Knox says the defence case is Mr Graham was "not using his phone, did not take his car and was not at the scene of this tree cutting" and it was Mr Carruthers who did the deed.

Judge Mrs Justice Lambert then interrupted to query whether Ms Sutherland was the best witness to respond to whatever point Mr Knox was making, with prosecutor Mr Wright KC saying he also had concerns.

The jury has been sent out while the matter is discussed.

Christopher Knox, the barrister for Daniel Graham, is now asking the police analyst questions.

This is the first time jurors have heard either of the defence teams speak, with the trial still very much in the prosecution phase.

Ms Sutherland confirmed the phone recovered from Mr Graham had provided most of the information she had given to jurors, while the phone from Mr Carruthers did not have anything noteworthy on it.

Ms Sutherland is now concluding her presentation of the sequence of events.

She ends by telling jurors both Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers were arrested on 31 October, just over a month after the tree was felled.

Both were then re-arrested on 3 November.

In the week after the felling, Google searches were being made on Mr Graham's phone around the name of a man originally arrested for causing the damage.

The phone also accessed news articles about the man's history and interviews the suspect had given to the media following his arrest, the court hears.

In the days after the tree was discovered, Daniel Graham's phone was being used to access news reports about the felling, the court hears.

They included articles detailing the arrests of a 16-year-old boy and 60-year-old man on suspicion of chopping down the tree.

Multiple searches for "Sycamore Gap" were also made on YouTube, with videos including one saying "Robin Hood tree in Britain destroyed teenager arrested" accessed.

The trial is now resuming with Amy Sutherland, an intelligence analyst for Northumbria Police, still in the witness box here at courtroom one of Newcastle Crown Court.

Before the break we were hearing about the messages and screenshots of social media posts and media reports the two defendants were sending each other in the aftermath.

When he opened the case yesterday, prosecutor Richard Wright KC said their behaviour showed they were "revelling in" and "loving" the outraged reaction to the felling of the tree.

This afternoon is beginning with the reading out of more posts and screenshots the defendants saved.

The biggest moment so far was arguably when the video was played which purportedly showed the moment the tree was felled.

The two minute 41 second-long video was filmed on Daniel Graham's phone and found on the device when it was seized from his jacket pocket upon his arrest on 31 October.

You can see the video at the top of this feed.

A photograph of a chunk of wood and a chainsaw in the back of Mr Graham's Range Rover was also taken when he had returned home that night, the court heard.

Jurors also heard detailed explanations, assisted by marked maps, showing Mr Graham's car and phone moving towards and then away from the Sycamore Gap site, while the two defendants shared screenshots of social media posts and news articles about the felling in the aftermath.
