Roger French, the recently retired head honcho of Brighton and Hove buses, will be honoured by the city he served in a special meeting of the council later this month.
He’s to become one of a select band of only seven to be made an Honorary Freeman of the City of Brighton & Hove.
Roger was not only at the wheel of the buses for nearly 30 years; he was also Chair of both the city’s Strategic Partnership for seven and the Trustee of the Martlets Hospice for nine.
This new honour will sit nicely on his mantlepiece beside his already awarded OBE.
Scene was founded in Brighton in 1993, at a time when news stories about Pride protests were considered radical.
Since then, Scene has remained proudly independent, building a platform for queer voices. Every subscription helps us to report on the stories that matter to LGBTQ+ people across the UK and beyond.
Your support funds our journalists and contributes to Pride Community Foundation’s grant-making and policy work.
