Maj Gives Gay MBE...
review
Trevor Burchick, chair of Northern Wave Swimming Club, Director of Pride Sports & Pride Games and Director Europe of GLISA (Gay and Lesbian International Sports Association), was awarded an MBE by his Majesty Prince Charles.
It was awarded for services to the communities of Greater Manchester and is especially unusual as it is for work primarily with LGBT communities.
During the investiture, music is played by the Blues and Royals but for Trevor the usual repertoire was replaced by Somewhere Over The Rainbow!
Prince Charles said to Trevor, "I understand you've been stirring things up, up there", to which Trevor replied "I hope so, I am a good stirrer".
Other recipients on the day included, Mr John Barret, who has commentated at Wimbledon for many years and Mrs Jacinta Horse-Riding-Smith-Jones... only kidding!
