I just read this at MK News:

MARK HONOURED IN NEWCASTLE: A bronze plaque bearing Mark's name has been added to the Newcastle and Gateshead Quayside Walk of Fame. The Newcastle Quayside is an area along the banks of the River Tyne that was once an industrial area and busy dockside. It has been redeveloped to provide art, music and culture venues. Mark says “To be voted a Local Hero by the people of Tyneside is a wonderful honour which I will treasure.”

Which is fantastic for Mark, and well deserved recognition :waytogo:

What a nice honor for Mark! And especially from his hometown! At least some people know enough to pile on the kudos when a person is living, instead of waiting till they can't appreciate the recognition! :wacko:

I see that Terry Killburn finally updated Mark's website with a couple of articles, both of which we knew about.

If I can do it, here is a picture of the plaque.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the picture to embed, but at least if you put the link into your browser, you can see the actual plaque.
