A Lincolnshire country park has been renamed The Queen Elizabeth Memorial Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park as a mark of respect for the late monarch.

What was formerly the Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park was renamed on Lincolnshire Day yesterday.

Lincolnshire County Council leader Cllr Martin Hill said: ‘Lincolnshire Day provides an opportunity for us to celebrate the culture and heritage of our county.

‘What better moment to look back and show our admiration for a monarch who dedicated her life to her country by renaming our largest country park in her memory.’

Within the park are eight nature reserves and miles of sandy beaches, said to be a haven for coastal birds.

Executive member for environment Cllr Colin Davie said: ‘The natural beauty of the coastal country park provides the perfect place for quiet reflection on the life of the late, great Queen Elizabeth II.

‘Further north along the Lincolnshire Coast, we’ve recently welcomed the creation of the Lincolnshire Coronation Coast National Nature Reserve, which marks the first in the King’s Series of national nature reserves, making Lincolnshire’s east coast a truly royal coastline.’
