FOUR people who epitomise the best of Bury have been granted the borough's highest civic honour.
But a fifth who was granted the award, England and Newcastle United full back Kieran Trippier, had to miss the ceremony as he was busy helping his team reach a Wembley cup final.
Trippier, 32, grew up in Summerseat and attended Holcombe Brook Primary School and Woodhey High School in Ramsbottom.
The former City, Burnley, Spurs and Atletico Madrid ace was due to be awarded the Freedom of Bury at a special meeting of the full council along with four other people.
