It is 19 years today (August 31) since the death of Lady Diana, The Princess of Wales, in 1997, aged only 36.
Lady Diana came to Brigg in 1988 and unveiled this plaque (above) at the Buttercross to mark the launch of the town's Rejeneration Project to improve many of our old buildings.
She planted this tree (below) which you can see at the side of the Spring's Parade car park. A plaque marking the occasion is within the flower bed near the trunk.
Lady Diana also visited the Falcon Cycles factory, off Bridge Street, meeting a number of staff. Management presented her with bikes for her sons, the then young princes.
Thousands of people are posting comments today on social media in memory of her.
