A date for Paul O’Grady to posthumously receive Wirral’s highest honour for his “exceptional contribution” has been confirmed.
The legendary entertainer, who was born in Birkenhead, died suddenly on March 28, prompting a huge outpouring of love and tributes from across the country and beyond.
Now Wirral Council is proposing to give the star, who was also known for his drag persona Lily Savage, the Freedom of the Borough posthumously.
