The life of much-loved fantasy author the late Sir Terry Pratchett is set to be honoured with a commemorative plaque at Beaconsfield Library today (Tuesday).
The plaque, will be unveiled at the library, in Reynolds Road, where Sir Terry was a Saturday boy and returned to give talks.
Beaconsfield Town Council has been hoping to install the plaque since after his death two years ago.
Born in Beaconsfield and educated at John Hampden Grammar School in High Wycombe, Sir Terry went on to become a reporter at the Bucks Free Press before going on to make a name for himself as an author.
Former librarian at Beaconsfield Library, and committee member of the Beaconsfield Society, Kari Dorme, welcomed the news, saying it would help make more people aware of the history and heritage of the town.
Sir Terry’s daughter Rhianna will unveil the plaque, along with and Rob Wilkins, MD of the Pratchett estate.
