Members of the public will be invited to meet the athlete who will be posing for photographs and signing autographs in the Reception Room at the Town Hall at 5 pm.

 

Councillor Nash said: "Louis is an inspiration to all of us and especially to the young people of the city who can see what can be achieved with effort, determination and commitment. I am proud to be honouring him and I hope lots of local people will come along after the civic reception to meet him."

 

Louis won bronze in the men's pommel horse event at the Beijing Olympic Games this summer to hand Great Britain its first Olympic gymnastics medal in 80 years.
