5.11.46pm GMT Wed 2nd May 2007

Last night Paul Keetch, Lib Dem MP for Hereford, planted a copper beech tree in the grounds of Holme Lacy House Hotel, in the heart of his constituency, to commemorate his 10th anniversary as the Member of Parliament for Hereford. With him was his agent from the 1997 General Election, Sarah Carr, who is now the Liberal Democrat Prospective Parliamentary Candidate.

"Ten years representing the city and county of your birth is a tremendous honour and I look forward to my last few years as MP with great anticipation," Paul said.

"I was delighted that Sarah Carr was able to join me last night. She worked hard for me in the 1997 campaign as my agent and I look forward to working with her to ensure that she is returned as the next MP for Hereford."
