DUKE OF EDINBURGH: SPORTS TEAMS IN BRIGG AREA TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS THIS WEEKEND

Sports teams in the Brigg area will be paying their respects to Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, while his funeral is being held this weekend.
Start times for matches on Saturday afternoon are being amended "where possible" so no play takes place during his state funeral in Windsor.
This request has been forwarded to local leagues by governing bodies the Football Association (FA) and the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and passed on to clubs.
"With this in mind, all fixtures on Saturday 17th April 2021 will kick off at 13:00," says the EC Surfacing Scunthorpe & District Football League. That's two hours earlier than originally planned.
Briggensians FC host Santon at the Recreation Ground in Division Two, while Barnetby United Reserves will entertain Scotter United Reserves at Silver Street.
Barnetby's first teamers have a Division One game at Scotter.
Start times of the opening Saturday of the Lincolnshire County Cricket League, originally planned to start at 1.30pm, are also being reviewed.
Broughton 2nds are our only local side in action, having a Division Two home fixture against Grimsby Town 2nds at the Scawby Road ground.
Sports clubs across the country are also being instructed to observe a minute's silence in memory of the Duke of Edinburgh who died last Friday, aged 99.
Flags on civic buildings, including Brigg's Hewson House (pictured above) will continue to fly at half-mast until after the funeral.
There is also a request for sports players to don black armbands during matches and to observe one minute's silence prior to their games on Saturday.

The Duke of Edinburgh accompanied his wife, The Queen, during her visit to Brigg in summer 1977 - her Silver Jubilee year - and they watched a pageant being performed on the Recreation Ground.
