This past spring, Brian Jacques was honored as one of the top ten greatest Merseysiders, or people from Liverpool in the Liverpool Echo's Spirit of Liverpool contest. With this prestige, a portrait of Mr. Jacques was painted by artist Micheline Robinson. Yet another effort is underway to immortalize the top 100 Merseysiders - all of their names will be inscribed into a wall of fame located outside of the Liverpool Echo Arena, a new venue which is currently scheduled to open in early 2008. Congrats again to Brian!
