Southville man gets MBE

Stan Hammond, from Coronation Road, Southville, received an MBE from the Queen on Tuesday 7 April at a ceremony in Windsor. His award was for his work in helping to set up the Pride of Bristol Trust, which provides training sessions for youngsters on a former Royal Navy ship. The trust was started in 1995, with the first trips made the following year. Since then, about 400 children a year have benefited from the team-building sessions.
