And to show the city’s gratitude, we asked you to nominate the unsung heroes in your lives for recognition in our Big Thank You supplement.
Here’s the second of two online photo galleries we’re running to celebrate those inspirational people.
You’ll also find their names and faces in the Big Thank You pull-out free in this weekend’s edition of The News, Portsmouth.
