Brigg's coveted annual award for public voluntary service during 2020 goes to Keith Simpson.
A local lay reader, Keith will receive the Joseph J. Magrath Trophy - named after a long-serving former Town Clerk.
Brigg has been without a vicar for 12 months since Father Owain Mitchell left St John's Church to take up a new appointment in the Peak District.
Keith continues to assist the parish in many ways and was central to the Remembrance Sunday commemorations in November at the Monument war memorial and at last weekend's Holocaust Memorial Service.
Keith was selected for this honour by Brigg Town Council during its January meeting held on Tuesday night, having been nominated by Coun Rob Waltham.
Couns Sharon Riggall and Penny Smith said he had helped them as chaplain during their years as Town Mayor.
