Freeman of Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea & Trusthorpe

Here are a few images from a ceremony on 9th March 2019 to honour John Monk MBE, a true gentleman, friend of the community and hugely appreciated by all.

Truly a day for smiles!

Sadly, John passed away just over a week after receiving this great honour. Here are two images we would like to share; one recent of John as most of us will remember him and one taken during his earliest days as a pioneer of the Meridale community.
