Mel Gibson’s message marks 20 years of ‘Braveheart’

Hollywood star Mel Gibson who is now a Freeman of Trim, will send a personal video message to the Co Meath town to mark the 20th anniversary of the Oscar-winning film Braveheart.

Gibson has readily agreed to the personal link which will be broadcast on a huge 60m outdoor screen which will be erected to show the 1995 film to 1,200 people on the grounds of Trim Castle on August 1.

Although the actor was bestowed with the Freeman of Trim honour in 2010 by the then town council, he only received the official certificate in recent weeks.
