Viking Age
The relationship between Norway and England go back to the Viking age, when Norwegian vikings invaded Britain and founded personal settlements, greatly influincing the cultural relationship between the two countries.

World Wars
During World War I, Norway was known as the neutral ally, as it claimed its neutrality, still favouring the British over the Germans.

During World War II, Norway was invaded by Germany, so the Norwegian government and King had to create a government-in-exile in London. The British also helped train Noregian troops and commandos to attack Nazi installations in Norway.

The Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree
Every year, the Norwegian city of Oslo donates a Christmas tree to the people of London, and it is displayed in Trafalgar Square. This tradition has been going on since 1947, and it is to thank England for our support in the Second World War. The tree is cut in Norway in mid-November, and the cutting is quite a big ceremony that is attended by the British Ambassador to Norway

Other Norwegian cities also donate trees to other parts of Britain; Bergen gives one to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, and one is given to Great Grimsby.
