As part of Ryde’s celebrations to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Mayor Michael Lilley is inviting the town’s residents to nominate a Ryde resident who they think is deserving of the honorary title ‘Freedom of Ryde’.
7 magnificent Ryde residents, 1 for every decade of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, will be selected and presented with the title at a dedicated awards ceremony on the weekend of the Jubilee festivities.
Mayor Lilley says:
“This a fantastic way to honour the incredible work that people of Ryde have done for their community over the last 70 years. We can’t think of any better way to celebrate the Jubilee than by awarding this highest of honours to seven Ryde heroes. They really are the magnificent seven!”
Ryde Town Council Marketing Officer Hannah East adds:
“The Freedom of Ryde is a huge honour and we are thrilled to be presenting it to seven wonderful Ryde residents. It is even better that the nominations are going to be coming from the people who live within the community – this is a terrific opportunity to put forward people who you believe have made a real difference to the town of Ryde. I can’t wait to see the nominations flood in!”
If you would like to nominate someone for their valuable service, achievements, profession or contribution to Ryde Town, then email [email protected] or post to Ryde Town Council, 10 Lind Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 2NQ.
Be sure to include the name, date of birth and contact details of the person you are nominating, along with why the nominee should be considered.
Nominations must be entered by 14:00 on Thursday 31st March 2022.
David Icke has certainly put Ryde on the map
Well every village needs its idiot.
Sadly, I think that they will struggle to come up with seven names.
But on a positive note, I think that the whole of RTC should be strung up for commercial vandalism.
