Grace Buckle, Ros Scott & Diana Wallis

Grace Buckle 93, was given a special award for her 60 years as an outstanding Liberal by the new President of the Liberal Democrats, Baroness Ros Scott at the Spring Conference in Harrogate. Joining the Liberal Party in 1946 Grace retired as a Councillor in 2003. She was Mayor of Richmond for 1987/88 and worked closely with Baroness Angela Harris & her husband John. Now at 92 she is still active in the Liberal Democrats.

"I am delighted that Grace has been recognised in this way," said H & H President Diana Wallis. "She has dedicated herself selflessly to the work of the Party & to Richmond."
