The news report said the 30ft tree had one string of solar-powered lights and no decorations.

Queen Mother Plaza in Poundbury, near Dorchester, should have a 30-foot tree. Solar-powered tree lights were weak due to recent cloudy weather.

Locals thought the tree adjacent to the Camilla Parker Bowles-named Duchess of Cornwall bar looking sad.

Harriet Moorby, 77, has lived in the region for years and normally enjoys Christmas decorations, but not this year.

She told The Mirror: "Really disappointed. "After waiting, the lights arrived as a single strand of barely visible lights.

"Poundbury's Queen Mother Square is visible to drivers, and we're wasting a wonderful tree. "Why weren't local schools asked to decorate?

"We're all struggling financially this year, but we must band together. If we'd realized the display would be bad, we could have done it.

Tim Limbach, 67, lamented that no local businesses had sponsored the tree. He wondered why the lights were solar-powered.

Said: "The Duchy of Cornwall lights the tree, but it's not decorated. "Solar-powered tree lights scarcely light up at night due to overcast weather.

"The nearby Waitrose gently denied my request to light it. "It's a shame the community's centerpiece looks so unhappy."
