            <p><font size="1">Visitors to the Diana memorial garden in Kensington 
              today will notice a new natural addition in the form of handmade 
              willow fencing. </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">The eco-friendly fencing is being put up by land-artist 
              Jim Buchanan, 36, who studied land architecture at Leeds Polytechnic. 
              The artists love of nature was inspired when as a child he watched 
              neighbours make Irish baskets out of willow trees. Part of the fencing 
              was erected last year but he is now completing the garden. </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">"The trees are more attractive than metal or plastic 
              fencing, particularly in spring or summer, when visitors can watch 
              leaves and buds coming out," he said. "Many families make regular 
              visits to the garden. They're fascinated at the changes to the fencing 
              throughout the seasons." </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">The trees are brought from Essex by specialist willow 
              grower Robin Goodwin, 49, whose family have grown willows for generations. 
              "In the long term using willow for fencing is more sustainable because 
              they are not using resources," said Mr Goodwin. "Willow trees are 
              strong, a natural product that's environmentally-friendly and absorbs 
              carbon dioxide from air." </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">The garden - opened last summer - has proved a huge 
              draw for Londoners and tourists. </font></p>

            <p><font size="1" color="#000000">Four other swans have also been 
              injured in a series of attacks that have left park staff baffled. 
              At first they thought that a dog was responsible and the police 
              put up notices notifying dog owners of the heavy fines that can 
              be imposed on dog owners who can't keep their pets under control. 
              However the suspicion has now turned on foxes after a cygnet was 
              found decapitated and disembowelled early one morning before the 
              park gates were open. </font></p>
            <p><font size="1" color="#000000">If a fox is found to be responsible
