NEW BRIGG HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL SCULPTURE PRAISED IN PARLIAMENT

The new Holocaust Memorial Sculpture in Brigg - used as part of a Holocaust Memorial Service held in the town on Sunday - has since been praised in Parliament.
The sculpture, on the Millennium Green, off Elwes Street, was designed by Izzy Roberts - a student at Sir John Nelthorpe School, Brigg.
Ken Harrison, of Brigg Matters Magazine, was among those who attended a service held in the Angel's Cafe Courtyard and beside the new memorial.
Ken, who has kindly provided these pictures, said the dedication remembered the 10 million people murdered under Nazi persecution in their concentration camps.
The service was followed by a twilight procession and final Benediction by Father Owain Mitchell at the sculpture.
Poems and readings came from students of Sir John Nelthorpe and The Vale Academy.
The Jewish funeral hymn, the Kaddish, was read by Tony Sevilla Harland, from Barnetby, who also represented the local Jewish community.
Those attending the ceremony included Brigg & Goole MP Andrew Percy, Brigg Town Mayor Coun Donald Campbell,  other local dignitaries, congregations from the Anglican and Methodist communities, as well as members of the public.
Andrew Percy later told colleagues in the House of Commons that he was proud that the memorial had been unveiled on Millennium Green in Brigg, and proud of the young people from Sir John Nelthorpe School and The Vale Academy who entered the competition to design the memorial.
"I pay particular tribute to Izzy Roberts, a year 10 pupil from Sir John Nelthorpe School, whose design won out," he added.
"I also thank the town council, which committed £5,000, and local businesses Keyo, East Coast Surfacing and Turnbull, which put their hand in their pocket to fund the memorial."
The sculpture has been constructed from weather-resistant COR-TEN steel.
