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.
