At least 50 people were injured, including a baby in a pram, when the 200-year-old oak came down over dozens of revellers waiting to buy candles outside a church. Four of the dead are foreigners including a German, Hungarian and French national.  The incident took place at the Festa da Senhora do Monte, a festival celebrating the island's patron saint in Monte, a village near Madeira's capital Funchal.
