TWO of Gloucester's brightest and best have been commended for their contribution to the city.
Last night Reyaz Limalia from Barton was named Citizen of Gloucester 2013 for almost a decade of tireless voluntary work.
He is chairman of GymNation, which runs thriving community projects GymNation, Friendship Cafe and St. James City Farm.
The humble 36-year-old said: "I feel really honoured but slightly embarrassed."
Liza Hadley from Hucclcote was named Gloucester Young Person of the Year.
The 16-year-old is a senior prefect at Chosen Hill School and has been involved with her local Rainbow, Brownie and Guide groups for several years.
She also helps run archery sessions for disadvantaged children and adults with disabilities at Deer Park Archers.
She said: "I'm delighted.
"I believe life is what you make it and I have always liked to keep busy."
