BRIGG WILL REMEMBER PRINCESS DIANA


On Thursday (August 31) it will be 20 years since the death of Diana, The Princess of Wales.
She twice visited Brigg and the ornamental pear tree planted in 1988  by The People's Princess is still in place.
It is close to the County Bridge, the River Ancholme towpath and the Spring's Parade car park (almost opposite the White Hart pub).
There is an inscribed plaque near the tree trunk.
We will not be surprised to see some floral tributes placed at this location this week, in her memory.




The plaque above the main entrance to the Buttercross in Brigg town centre marks the Princess's visit in 1988.

There is an unofficial 'plaque', in the form of an inscribed paving block....situated at the access point leading down to the river steps at the White Hart...opposite the the tree....
