AN award-winning director, former mayor and a London 2012 ambassador has been recognised for her achievements.
Kerry King, of New Road, Mistley, has won a regional award in the 2014 Laterlife Challenge.
Both she and her husband, Martin Rayner, were shortlisted for the award.
Hundreds of people entered the national awards before a judging panel narrowed it down.
She said: “I am astounded that I am the regional winner and still do not really believe it.”
