Right…
Seems to match the description. Beech is one of the food plants. In the lateral view, you can see how the subdorsal stripe is displaced upwards going towards the tail. There is also the dorsal V-shaped saddle, yellow warts on the prothorax, and the presence of numerous red dots on the body, all which are characteristic of this species.

See reference here.

Tree
FYI, this tree has since been identified as a hop-hornbeam...
