Posthumous award for nurse, Patrick McManus, who died with Covid
Representatives from Pat McManus's family were in attendance at the meeting followed by a mayoral reception afterwards in the Guildhall
Mr McManus initially worked as a nurse in Northern Ireland and later in England, after he and his family moved there in 1994. "There was no changing his mind because he wouldn't let his workers work on the front line and not be with them." "One day we got a phone call from the hospital to say our dad had badly deteriorated and we had to come up now," he said.
"It was a really difficult situation and it still feels quite surreal, but I do think the process of receiving this award will help us, as his sons, to move on from this," Stephen said.
