Roger French OBE is to become an Honorary Freeman of the City of Brighton and Hove.

He will become the sixth person to receive the honour.
He was chairman of the city’s Strategic Partnership for seven years and chairman of the trustees at Martlets Hospice for nine years.
A special meeting of Brighton and Hove City Council has been called for next Thursday to confer the honour.
