Entertainer Paul O’Grady could be posthumously given the freedom of Wirral as part of plans to pay tribute to his legacy.

Councillors will vote next week on whether to award the honorary freedom of the borough to the TV presenter, who was born in Birkenhead, Wirral, and died in March at the age of 67.
