A man who has been with Keighley Lions since it was founded 55 years ago has won recognition for his decades of service.

Keith Hardwick Trott was presented with a certificate of appreciation at a conference in Harrogate.

The certificate is signed by the Countess of Wessex, patron of the Lions Clubs of the British Isles.

Mr Hardwick Trott was brought up in Oakworth and also lived in Harden for many years.

He was sales director of the Rustless Iron Company, in Lawkholme Lane, Keighley, which was known locally as Trico. He retired in 1993 and now lives in East Morton.
