When the Nazis invaded Norway, King Haakon VII of Norway and the Norwegian government fled to England where they functioned as the government in exile (as opposed to the Quisling puppet government set up by the Nazis). The government headquarters was set up in London where the war news was broadcasted in Norwegian, along with messages and information that was vital to the resistance movement in Norway and gave the people hope and inspiration. The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree has been an annual gift to the people of Britain by the city of Oslo (the capitol of Norway) as a token of gratitude for British support to Norway during the Second World War.
