WIDE RANGE OF BRIGG EVENTS WILL MARK THE QUEEN'S PLATINUM JUBILEE

Events continue to be organised in the Brigg area for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in late Spring, celebrating Her Majesty's 70 years as reigning monarch.
We've been asked to mention that Ken Harrison, chairman of Brigg Matters magazine, is to reprise something he did 10 years ago to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
In liaison will local traders, Ken will again be photographing shop staff outside their premises (examples pictured here from 2012).
He will be doing the rounds during May.
The scenes he recorded 10 years ago proved very popular.
