A Burnley postal worker and two borough mayors will be honoured at a special council meeting on Tuesday.
Michael Heavican will be given a Certificate of Honour while former councillors Ida Carmichael and Rafique Malik will be made aldermen.
The ceremony will be held at Burnley Town Hall’s Council Chamber at 6.30pm.

She retired from the council in 2019 after 21 years of service and was Mayor of the borough in 2008/2009.
Mr Malik was director of the Blackburn Racial Equality Council for seven years retiring in 1997 and, for more than 20 years before that, was in charge of the Hyndburn and Burnley and Pendle RECs.
