The late Paul O’Grady has been given Wirral’s highest honour as politicians paid tribute to the star "who never forgot his roots."
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.
Former Wirral Council leader Janette Williamson after his death proposed the council give Mr O’Grady, also known for his drag persona Lily Savage, the Freedom of the Borough posthumously.
