For performing a wide array of community service work around the Island, Alpheaus (Ardie) Black was awarded an MBE by the Queen in December. Mr. Black and his family decided to make a trip out of the presentation and went to Buckingham Palace, in London, to pick up his award which was presented to him by Prince Charles.

He is pictured above with his daughter-in-law Debbie, his wife Muriel, and his daughter Avery Emery on the steps of City Hall.
