North East Lincolnshire reporter
Customers who lost money after one of Grimsby's oldest firms went out of business will find out today whether they might get their money back.
Pettit's butchers had been in the town for 125 years and today a creditors' meeting will discuss what happens next.
Lots of people, like Phil Frejiszyn paid into a Christmas saver scheme for their meat and hampers:

The schools get to lay a wreath and we give the children some of the biographies our volunteers have put together. They have a photo and their story in brief. The children take these and lay a poppy. It lets them understand that these were real people.
