Local residents in Lincoln honour a local poet in celebration of World Poetry Day

It's world poetry day today and so we teamed up with the locals to celebrate the work of a local poet. Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote the poem 'Charge of the Light Brigade' which was based on a battle in the Crimean War. However, not everyone will know that he was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire.
