Sir Patrick Stewart to be Given Freedom of Kirklees

Actor Sir Patrick Stewart, best known for his iconic roles in Star Trek: The Next Generation and the X-Men films, is set to receive the Freedom of Kirklees award.

The award is the highest honor that the Kirklees Borough Council can bestow upon an individual, recognizing their significant contributions to the community and their outstanding achievements in their respective fields.

Sir Patrick, who was born and raised in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, has always been a proud supporter of his hometown and has been involved in various charitable and community projects over the years.

The ceremony to present Sir Patrick with the Freedom of Kirklees award is set to take place later this year, with local officials and dignitaries in attendance to celebrate the occasion.

We congratulate Sir Patrick Stewart on this well-deserved honor and applaud his continued dedication to his roots and community.
