17. Fitzy's Final Farewell
Hundreds gathered in the Market Square on December 7 to pay their respects to town legend and veteran market trader, Eamonn 'Fitzy' Fitzpatrick. Fitzy's final farewell took place on a beautiful sunny morning at the market stall where he had been selling fruit and veg from for 60 years. His coffin, which had his famous yellow cap sat proudly on top of it, was driven past his stall and through the market for the final time. Photo: Kirsty Edmonds
18. Harry Gets Justice
After a gruelling three year battle to make Anne Sacoolas - the wife of an american diplomat - face justice for killing Northamptonshire teenager Harry Dunn by driving on the wrong side of the road, she was handed an eight month suspended prison sentence. Harry’s mum, Charlotte Charles, spoke outside the Old Bailey and, when asked how she felt, she said: “Job done. Promise complete properly now. Anne Sacoolas has a criminal record for the rest of her life. That was something she and the US Government never thought they’d see. We’ve worked tirelessly and relentlessly to make sure she, in the end, still had to do what you and I would have had to have done. Harry, we’ve done it and we’re good.” Photo: Getty
