Organisers of Laybo's Fest in Gainsborough on 17 and 18 May said it aims to "make memories and generate positivity while remembering loved ones we have lost".The festival, now in its fifth year, is in memory of Leighton Hall who died in May 2019.

The festival launched online during the Covid-19 pandemic but has quickly grown to become one of Gainsborough's biggest annual events and this year, for the first time, it is being held on the pitch at Gainsborough Trinity FC.The year after he died, Mr Hall's family asked his close friend Matthew Hill to create something to remember him by."Leighton was a great friend," Mr Hill said.

"He was such a social character and obviously we miss him very very much."The festival itself is our testament to Leighton, our tribute to Leighton and also a show of strength and comfort to anybody that's found themselves in our position of them losing their own Leighton."

Mr Hill said the football pitch would be transformed with pop icons, local acts and workshops.

Another friend of Mr Hall, Emily Kitchener, has organised children from 16 schools to come together to form one large choir on Sunday.In September, thirteen volunteers and two staff from Butterfly Conservation carried out surveys at 20 sites, with recorded numbers more than doubling.

A short spell of dry, clement weather in June is thought to have played a part in the butterfly’s surge, along with site management.The charity’s Northern Ireland Conservation Manager Rose Cremin said the results were “a good sign” that work to protect habitats was delivering.

“Now we need the government to continue to reward farmers for farming with nature," she said.“We urge the government to put more money into agri-environment schemes aimed at not just maintaining but increasing the grassland habitat which can provide a home for marsh fritillary and a host of other species."
