A husband and wife Lions club team received a top award at a recent celebratory evening.
The Weymouth & Portland Lions Club awarded Melvin Jones Fellowships (MJF) to former president, Lion Mark Lockie and his wife Steve.
The ceremony took place at the club's 48th charter anniversary celebration at the Rembrandt Hotel.
Mark has been a Lion for 40 years, firstly in Papua New Guinea and then with the Weymouth club.
Both Mark and his wife have been closely involved with the work of the club in supporting those less fortunate than ourselves and with organising Lions events, in particular the Christmas day harbour swim and the annual beach motocross.
The MJF is Lions International's highest award for services to the Lions, an organisation currently totalling 1.4 million members worldwide in 200 countries.
The presentation was made by district governor, Lion Peter Burnett, and Weymouth and Portland Lions president, Roger Hogbin.
