Freedom of Northumberland awarded to 'outstanding individuals'

Three people have had Northumberland's highest honour bestowed on them for providing exceptional service to the county.

At Wednesday's meeting of Northumberland County Council, it was proposed that the title of honorary freeman/freewoman was conferred on Tony Gates, Winton Keenen and Elizabeth Morgan.

According to the council, the Freedom itself carries no privilege and is purely an honour that reflects "the eminence of the person on whom it is conferred or as recognition of significant and valuable services rendered to the County by that person".
