“Mr Wilson is an outstanding member of our community and it is most appropriate for him to receive the Freeman of the City award for his lifetime of service to the community,” Mayor of Cessnock, Cr. Bob Pynsent said earlier this year.
Dating from the 13th century, the award is an honour of distinction and carries no privileges but is the means by which an individual is given recognition for an outstanding sense of duty – recognition not merely by a person but by a city.
