THREE WAYS BRIGG WILL REMEMBER NANCY TAGUE - WELL-KNOWN COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER


Brigg is to remember well-known community volunteer Nancy Tague in three ways.
There will be a bench seat, an inscribed plaque and a tree planted in memory of Nancy who died recently, aged 63.
She worked hard for Forces' charities and was a key member of the Brigg In Bloom group providing flowers across the town.
During last night's monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council, Coun Rob Waltham outlined ways in which Nancy will be remembered by the community.
The suggested location for these tributes is near the raised flower bed at the eastern end of the pedestrian area, adjoining the A18.
Nancy was one of the helpers involved in creating a floral display here, including miniature landing craft, to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings on beaches in northern France in June 1944 towards the end of the Second World War.
Coun Waltham last night outlined Nancy's contribution to the community, saying she would be remembered as "a livewire" who worked tirelessly, including the tending of this particular flower bed.
Nancy is pictured below (extreme left) helping to prepare the D-Day display, with other volunteers, in June 2019. Above, she is pictured in the Angel Suite, receiving an award from Town Mayor Sharon Riggall for the completed war-time display which many people admired.
