Second memorial plaque vandalised at Millennium Park

Clinton Pringle's memorial plaque has been removed after it was vandalised

The memorial plaque at Millennium Park remembering three-year-old Clinton Pringle has been removed after being vandalised.

Clinton was hit by a van near Millennium Town Park in St Helier on 27 June 2016 and passed away in hospital three days later.

His stone plaque remembers him as 'the bravest little lion with the biggest heart'. But it has been removed after being vandalised, St Helier Town Hall has confirmed.

 The plaque, pictured on the 10th anniversary of Clinton's death.

The Parish is working to find out who originally installed the stone, also engraved with a portrait of Clinton, and hopes to put it back up as soon as they can.

It's the second memorial plaque to be vandalised at the town park this month.

Last week, the 'G court' plaque, remembering Jersey Basketballer Guillaume Hoareau, was scrawled on in marker.

The court had been open for a matter of days, and was created to honour the legacy of 'G', a much-loved player and coach, who 'cared deeply' about the game on the island and those who played it.

At the time, the Jersey Basketball Association posted on social media:

"This court is in memory of someone taken far too soon and who did a lot for the youth of our Island. Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves."

It was promptly cleaned, and the court remains open and busy.
