A ROSSENDALE man is being honoured by the Queen for his work in the community. Graham Wright, 70, was given a British Empire Medal for services to athletics and to the community in Rossendale. As one of the founders of Rossendale Harriers, which was formed in 1967 when he was 17, Graham said the club has been a major part of his life for the past 53 years. He said: It s been a lifetime of service to the club and its members - the club is an important part of the community in Rossendale. I couldn t have done it without my wife Valerie who has been fantastic in supporting me throughout the years.
