RESIDENTS are being asked to share their photographs of Princess Diana's visit to Otley.

The late Princess of Wales came to the town on December 14, 1989 when she paid a visit to Spring Gardens residential care home.

A plaque on the walls of the Westbourne Grove venue commemorates the occasion but there are no photographs to accompany it.

Hannes Gudz, a retired nurse who works at the home, wants to change that and is aiming - as part of an ongoing training project - to create a permanent picture gallery.

Mr Gudz is currently framing any photographs he can find of the visit and hopes the people of Otley will be able to contribute.

He said: "I noticed that we had a plaque about the visit of the late Princess of Wales in 1989 but we do not have any pictorial evidence.

"I feel a picture gallery of the visit would help our residents refresh their memories of this important occasion."

Anyone with an image to share is asked to contact Mr Gudz by e-mail on mrhannes05@yahoo.co.uk .

He will be showing some of his framed pictures, and talking about Princess Diana's visit to Spring Gardens, at a meeting of Otley Action for Older People on September 5.
