THE HULL DAILY MAIL reports this morning that East Riding’s and Hedon’s most senior citizen Elizabeth Riley has died and was buried last week.

Elizabeth, 109, a former resident of Withernsea and Paull, died at the Albemarle Care Home in Hedon where she had lived for the last 16 years.

Born on the 7th July 1902, Elizabeth will have been 16 when the Great War ended and 37 when World War II started. Elizabeth had received 9 birthday cards from the Queen celebrating her birthday.

Heads up! – Article about Hedon expected in Yorkshire Life magazine

Posted on February 11, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Yorkshire Life website

THIS IS just an early notice to say that Yorkshire Life magazine is expected to be doing a feature on Hedon in their March 2012 edition.

The contents of the feature are not yet confirmed but it could include pieces on the Hedon Navigation Trust and the ambition to bring water back to the Hedon Haven, the Hedon Blog – yes, a bit of fame! – and about our town Mayor, Councillor Ann Suggit.

The feature will include images published by Hull freelance photographer Neil Holmes which guarantees it will be a delightful souvenir of the town.

Yorkshire Life is a high-gloss quality magazine, so you might want to order souvenir copies from local newsagents now.

The March edition of the magazine is expected to be available from 20th February.

HUMBERSIDE FIRE & RESCUE is asking people to take extra care when decorating their homes for Christmas – particularly the Christmas tree!

Although it is rare for a Christmas tree to catch fire, keeping it watered will help keep the tree moist and reduce any risk of it setting fire – as the video below demonstrates – along with keeping the tree looking its best for longer.
