Last week a private ceremony took place at the Town Hall where she received the award from the Mayor, Councillor Eddy Humphreys, in the company of her family, friends, and representatives from various local football clubs she has supported over the years.  Millie said she is “grateful” to be given the honorary title of the place that has become her home.

She becomes the first woman to hold the title in the Borough’s fifty year history.
