A WEBSITE has been launched to celebrate the life and work of Fred Dibnah.

The site dedicated to Bolton's celebrity steeplejack, who received an MBE at Buckingham Palace last week, includes pictures, stories and updates on projects including the mineshaft he is sinking at his home in The Haulgh.

The site is the work of fan Brian Elsey and includes a visitors book and links to other sites. The website can be found at www.wiganworld.co.uk/fred.
