Weston Mercury's tribute to Jill

Former colleagues of Jill Dando from the Weston Mercury are set to unveil a garden created in her memory.

The popular presenter of BBC's 'Crimewatch' programme was murdered outside her home in April 1999.

But before she became a national celebrity, Jill was a reporter on the Weston and Somerset Mercury and it was the regard that the Mercury team felt for Jill that inspired them to create a lasting memorial in her memory.

With help from Jill's BBC colleagues the Mercury was able to organise the tribute.

Judy Kisiel, the Mercury's managing editor, said: "We contacted Ground Force and, working closely with North Somerset Council, the team agreed to transform the sunken rose garden at the front of Grove House."

The work was completed by the stars of Ground Force over three days in July and now the newly titled 'Jill's Garden' is set to be unveiled.

  • The creation of the garden will be featured in Ground Force on BBC1 this Friday.
