TIME is running out for you to nominate the unsung heroes of our local communities to join the Queen on her Diamond Jubilee tour of Worcestershire.

We’ve secured agreement with the organisers to reserve about 300 places at Worcester Cathedral to join an invitation-only audience for the visit of Her Majesty on July 11.

We’ve extended the deadline to Friday for you to get your entries in.

Those chosen will join the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh and other dignitaries to watch a special presentation about Worcestershire and will have a grandstand view of her unveiling a plaque to mark the momentous occasion.

It will be a memory to cherish for ever for the lucky – and deserving – people chosen.

Buckingham Palace has been keen to ensure that those attending the jubilee celebrations should reflect the whole community, and the best in the community. And that’s where you, our readers, come in.

We want you to nominate family, friends, colleagues, associates, people you know or know of who have made or are making a significant contribution to their local community and the lives of the people around them.

They are the people who, month after month, year after year, quietly, without fuss, go out of their way to help others. We all know them, now we need you to bring these heroes out of the shadows and into the limelight.

Nominate your unsung hero for their chance to Join the Queen at her jubilee celebration.

Send us their name, address and any contact details you have, along with a ‘citation’ of four or five sentences explaining why you think they are local heroes deserving of royal recognition.

You can write your ‘citation’ on a separate piece of plain paper, or download the form available on the link below.

Get your nomination to us at the address printed on the voucher by Friday in time for us to choose the lucky 300, contact them and make the necessary arrangements.

You can post it, or e-mail it to roni.skye@worcesternews.co.uk

Let’s honour the unsung heroes of our county. Get nominating now.
