The person responsible for the smooth running of remembrance events in Bridlington over the past two decades has been presented with a special plaque.

Bridlington Town Council said it was delighted to present Brian Lampard with a plaque to acknowledge his 22 years of voluntary outstanding services to the various remembrance events in Bridlington since 2001.

The council said: “Much of the success of the events in Bridlington can be attributed to Brian as he has played a huge part behind the scenes with the organisation of the parade for so very long. Brian is an absolute legend and he is now handing over the parade reins to Shaun Marsburg.

"Bridlington Town Council wishes to thank Brian personally for all that he has done and to wish him the very best.”
