A boxing coach and people dedicated to saving lives have been presented with Freedom of the Borough for their community work.

Great Yarmouth Borough Council voted to bestow the honour to Jayne Biggs of defibrillator charity Heart2Heart Norfolk; Hugh Sturzaker, a retired surgeon who became lead governor at the James Paget Hospital, and 87-year-old Cecil Page, who founded the Kingfisher Amateur Boxing Club.

They also presented a scroll to the local branch of The Samaritans, a charity that supports people in crisis.

Carl Annison, mayor of the Borough of Great Yarmouth, said: “The contribution they have all made, and continue to make, to our community is an inspiration to all of us.”
