Les said: ‘With Gosport having a big population, I was very proud of being given the honour. I was invited to bring some people along to the mayor-making but I didn’t tell them why. I was a lovely surprise for them.

‘It was nice to be recognised and I was very proud of the fact that the local authority did it in this way.’
