A number of commemorative statues and sculptures occupy the square, but the Fourth Plinth, left empty since 1840, has been host to contemporary art since 1999. The square has been used for community gatherings and political demonstrations, including Bloody Sunday in 1887, the culmination of the first Aldermaston March, anti-war protests, and campaigns against climate change. A Christmas tree has been donated to the square by Norway since 1947 and is erected for twelve days before and after Christmas
Pluto's Christmas Tree Pluto's Christmas Tree Pluto's Christmas Tree is a 1952 Mickey Mouse cartoon in which Pluto and Mickey cut down a Christmas tree that Chip n' Dale live in. It is notable as one of the few Disney shorts directed by Jack Hannah not to star Donald Duck, although Donald does make a cameo at the end. Mickey and Pluto are searching for a Christmas tree, while Chip and Dale are looking for acorns in the forest. Once the squirrels see Pluto, they hit him with acorns and scurry from his chasing. Once Pluto is distracted, they hide in a tree.
