Local Dancing Hero

1.43.57pm BST (GMT +0100) Tue 23rd Jun 2009

On Tuesday (23 June) Parliament honoured 'local heroes' who have made a massive contribution to their local communities.

Vincent Cable MP introduced Eileen Meacock who is known to numerous residents from her work with a local theatre school in Richmond and teaching Ballroom, Latin and Tap. She has been teaching and examining for over half a century and in her youth was much in demand as a stage dancer.

Vincent Cable said: "There are many fine, talented and dedicated people in the local community and we owe them a debt of gratitude. I am delighted that Eileen has been chosen as a 'local hero', not least because of her contribution to dance in all its forms: something I can identify with!"
