Lyle Hill beacon to light up in celebration of Queen's birthday
THE Lyle Hill beacon will light up tonight to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday.
Inverclyde will join communities from all over the world marking the occasion.
It's the first time the beacon has been lit since the Diamond Jubilee celebrations four years ago, the same year that the Monarch visited Greenock.
Provost Robert Moran, who welcomed her to Inverclyde then, will light the beacon at 7.30pm.
He said: "The Queen has been a constant for many generations and it is right that we recognise this hugely significant milestone.
"Lyle Hill is a prominent feature in Inverclyde and I hope many people will get the chance to see the beacon being lit for the first time since the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012.”
