Jonathan Billinger, if I were to stand outside the church with the blue spire, I'd say I was in Riddings, not Bottesford, nobody has ever claimed Riddings to be Bottesford, it is Riddings, this spire is not a Bottesford landmark, whilst it may (debatable) be encompassed by the old borderline of Bottesford that passes through Bolingbroke Road, it would only just be within and would almost certainly be referred to by locals as a landmark of Riddings.

The photo of Brankwell Crescent that you've added is pointless, there is no need for it.

I have deleted them and I will continue to delete them if you attempt to add them again.

Photographs of The church of the Holy Spirit, Riddings, Yaddlethorpe and Brankwell Crescent, Yaddlethorpe

Jonathan Billinger, if I were to stand outside the church with the blue spire, I'd say I was in Riddings, not Bottesford, nobody has ever claimed Riddings to be Bottesford, it is Riddings, this spire is not a Bottesford landmark, whilst it may (debatable) be encompassed by the old borderline of Bottesford that passes through Bolingbroke Road, it would only just be within and would almost certainly be referred to by locals as a landmark of Riddings.

The photo of Brankwell Crescent that you've added is pointless, there is no need for it.

I have deleted them and I will continue to delete them if you attempt to add them again.

royal visit

The only reference I can find for the 2002 royal visit is the genuki bpage already used as a reference. There is nothing on the local newspaper sites, and the official itinerary for 31st July says:

The Queen opened Lindsey Lodge Hospice Extension, Scunthorpe; accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, The Queen visited Scunthorpe Town Centre; visited Normanby Hall; attended a performance at the National Ice Centre, Nottingham. The Duke of Edinburgh presented Award Scheme Gold Awards at 20/21 Arts Centre, Scunthorpe

The papers do mention her opening The Parishes & naming Jubillee Way, and that's very close to Normanby Hall, and other sources talk of visiting a mosque. So all in Scunthorpe. .

So was it the Lindsey Lodge in Burringham Road? here? Is that in 'the parish' for the purposes of this article? It's on the B1450 in Ashby, but the article clearly states that the civil parish boundary is the B1501, so Burringham Road would be well outside - though certainly inside the Ecclesiastical parish (Map) which includes Ashby.
