As wheelchair tennis champion and Helensburgh citizen, Gordon Reid finishes his build-up in London prior to joining Team GB in Rio, he goes with the best wishes of all the people of Argyll & Bute.

What a terrific year he has had with Australian and Wimbledon success.

He is a genuine ambassador for our area and the UK in sport in general, and having met him, he is also a nice guy too.

The council will soon formally consider whether he should receive the Freedom of Argyll & Bute.
