The iconic Sycamore Gap tree has been renamed 'Sycamore Stump' on Google.
This followed the tragic overnight felling of the famed Northumberland tree, which is believed to have been an act of vandalism.
A full investigation has been launched, and today (Thursday), Northumbria Police arrested a 16-year-old male in connection to the incident.
He remains in police custody at this time and is assisting officers with enquiries.
Recognised as one of the most photographed trees in the UK, the loss of the Sycamore Gap tree is deeply felt by the local community.

Once erect next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough, it was dubbed the 'Robin Hood Tree' due to its prominent role in the 1991 film 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.' The tree also held the accolade of the 2016 England Tree of the Year.
After its untimely demise, the site of the Sycamore Gap tree has been renamed 'Sycamore Stump' on Google Maps.
Remembering the tree, the Google description now reads: "The Sycamore Gap Tree or Robin Hood Tree was a sycamore tree standing next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland, England."
In a statement, Northumberland National Park Authority urged the public to stay away from the site.
The statement said: "Northumberland National Park Authority would like to ask the public not to visit the site at this time whilst we work with our partners to identify what has happened and to make the site safe."
