Sir Ken presents stained glass window
SIR Ken Morrison has presented the Yorkshire Agricultural Society with a stained glass window showing its iconic crest.
The gift from Sir Ken, left, the former chairman of the Morrisons supermarket chain, has been unveiled at the Great Yorkshire Showground in the President’s Pavilion which overlooks the main arena. He is a former president of the society, which is best known as the organiser of the annual Great Yorkshire Show in July and its sister event, Countryside Live, in October.
Sir Ken, who was the president up until July last year, commissioned the panel from York artist Julia Spall to mark his 12 months in office. It was handed over to the society’s chief executive, Nigel Pulling, right, who said the white rose of Yorkshire embodies the organisation’s tradition and heritage.
