Two staff from Asda in Boston meet Prince William - Lincolnshire Echo

TWO members of staff from Boston's Asda met Prince William during an event also attended by the Queen.

Store manager Dawn Belcher and community life champion Stephen Bromby received VIP passes for the Queen's visit to Vernon Park in Nottingham where she unveiled a plaque to rename the site Queen Elizabeth II Field.

  1. ROYAL INVITATION: Dawn Belcher and Stephen Bromby fro Boston's Asda mingled with the Queen and Prince William during a community event in Nottingham.

The event was part of the Fields in Trust campaign to protect 2,012 outdoor recreational spaces across the country and of which Asda is a principal partner.

The Queen was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Boston Asda duo were introduced to Prince William who is patron of Fields in Trust.

Mr Bromby told the Target: "The event was a truly special day with the ceremony to mark the dedication of Vernon Park as a Queen Elizabeth II Field along with a series of activities to showcase all the wonderful opportunities outdoor recreational spaces can provide.

"As soon as we were introduced to Prince William he asked for an Asda pocket-tap. It's amazing to think that he knows the Asda thing."

Boston Asda has already built relationships with its local Fields in Trust space, Glen Park at Surfleet, by helping with funding and volunteers for the jubilee party on June 4.

Every Asda store has been challenged to raise £2,012 to help Fields in Trust and the Boston store in Lister Way is holding various events throughout the year led by staff member Sue Jackson.
