THE widow of Mr Arthur Topping MBE will receive his award posthumously on Sunday.
Mrs Betty Topping, of Borrowdale Road, Golborne, will be presented with her late husband's medal by the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester during a service at St Thomas' CE Church, Golborne.
Mr Topping won the award in last year's Queen Birthday Honours List for his services to the town's Scout movement, but died before he could be presented himself.
The service will be attended by the Mayor and Mayoress, Cllr and Mrs Ken Pye, and will be followed by lunch in the parish hall.
