A mysterious banner apologising to “Ellie” has been put up on bridge above the A120 at Dunmow.

The sign, above the westbound carriageway, says: “Forgive me Ellie” and appeared today (Friday).

Now people are using social media to find out who Ellie is and why someone is saying sorry to her.

If you know who Ellie is, and why she is being begged for forgiveness, email editor@dunmow-broadcast.co.uk.
