The windy weather forced organisers to cancel the Lincoln funfair on the South Common tonight (Wednesday) and it also took its toll on a popular bar and some flats in Lincoln.
The high winds left the organisers with no choice, but to cancel the funfair for this evening, but there will be a discount of all rides £1 on Friday and Saturday (September 21 and 22).
