Two recipients received awards in 1997
Rose Gibbons
Rose devoted her life to the St John Ambulance Brigade in Horwich and had latterly been a champion of the welfare and rights of pensioners.
Jack Prescott
Jack was a veteran of the Horwich Harriers who had worked so hard to ensure the success of the club. Sadly, both have since died, but they were worthy recipients of the Civic Medals, having over 100 years of service to Horwich between them.
