Elected and admitted by the Council of the City of Belfast under the municipal privilege (Ireland) Act, 1875:-
Michael Longley CBE
Commander of the civil division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire
The honour was bestowed upon Mr Longley by Belfast City Council in recognition of the positive contribution he has made to the city through his acclaimed poetry and writing legacy over five decades.
A well-deserved honour for this well-respected poet and Old Instonian!
