The 6 trees, along with a seventh courtesy of His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire, were planted to create The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Coppice, Derbyshire.
The Queen's Green Canopy is a nationwide tree-planting initiative launched by Her Majesty to mark her Platinum Jubilee.
The 'Tree of Trees' stood in front of Buckingham Palace at the height of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in London in June and was seen on TV by more than one billion people worldwide.
The trees have been dedicated to 6 Derbyshire organisations, schools and groups following recommendations made by the Derbyshire Lieutenancy which helped to secure the trees for the county from the Queen's Green Canopy.
The ceremony at Shipley was attended by:
- His Majesty's Vice-Lord Lieutenant Colonel John Wilson OBE DL
- Chief Executive of The Queen's Green Canopy Colonel Dan Rex MVO
- Lead for The Queen's Green Canopy in Derbyshire Brell Ewart DL
- Derbyshire County Council Leader Councillor Barry Lewis
Civic dignitaries and councillors representing all Derbyshire districts also attended the event, along with representatives from organisations, groups and schools having a tree dedicated to them, and school children from nearby Cotmanhay Junior School.
The Derbyshire recipients who have a tree dedicated to them are:
- Alfreton Park School, Alfreton

- Derbyshire County Council Children's Homes
- Derbyshire Federation of Women's Institutes, Derby
