Shawshank Redemption oak tree falls and fans grieve
24 July 2016 US & Canada
One of the most iconic trees in cinematic history is no more - a victim of the wind.
The white oak tree from the classic 1994 film Shawshank Redemption has been felled in Mansfield, Ohio.
The tree appears near the end of the movie when Morgan Freeman's character Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding follows clues to its location.
Staff at a local visitors' centre received a call on Friday informing them that the entire oak was down.
