Staff at Wilko in Stamford say they've been overwhelmed by the support they've received since news of their closure was announced.
We organised a thank you with applause and cheers as the store, which has been on Stamford High Street for more than 40 years, closed its doors for the final time. In the words of the staff themselves:
"Thank you. Thank you for your support, it's been amazing, and the last few weeks where we've known we're closing down, we can't thank you all enough. It's been amazing. Thank you."
And from Rob Persani, Rutland & Stamford Sound Project Manager and Presenter: "Thank you very much. Thank you for being part of Stamford High Street. Really appreciate it, don't we?"
It's now also been announced that Oakham store will shut this coming Monday, as will Peterborough, as part of the latest wave of 111 further Wilko store closures planned next week.
Today marks the 20th Lincolnshire day- a commemorative day that celebrates the county.
Stamford, Bourne and Deeping is our own slice of Lincolnshire- but what does the day mean?
Today is Lincolnshire Day, and as well as flags flying across the county, a free banner exhibition featuring local schools and the WI is being launched at Priory Church Deeping St. James.
Lincolnshire Police have been working through the night at Market Deeping after a collision near the roundabout that connects the A15 and A1175 near the service station involving a motorcycle.
Rare Jurassic fossils have been discovered in Ketton, which help give further insight into the geological history of the county around 170 million years ago.
St Mary's Church in Ketton is one of only two in the Peterborough Diocese to show a film about climate and nature emergency, and it's taking place this evening.
The Rutland Food Bank says it's store cupboard basics they're most in need of as they expect a rise in donations due to harvest festivals in schools and churches.
Happy Lincolnshire Day
