Arthur Staggs, Honorary Citizen of Thame

Arthur Staggs, a resident of Meadowcroft, and who recently celebrated his 97^thbirthday, has become an Honorary Citizen of Thame.  The award is in recognition of his distinguished and vital contribution to the French Resistance during World War II.

Meadowcroft hosted the celebrations on January 25, when more than seventy of Arthur’s friends and relations attended. 

The Lord Lieutenant, Tim Stevenson, and Thame’s Mayor, Cllr Matelot Green, are seen here before revealing the Honours Board with Arthur’s name added.  The board usually hangs at the Town Hall but was borrowed for the occasion.

The Mayor had been thrilled when her proposal that Arthur should become an Honorary Citizen met with the unanimous agreement of her Councillor colleagues.

There are two other Thame Honorary Citizens: Len Webb and David Dodds.
