Birkenhead-born Glenda Jackson died earlier this year
Glenda, an Oscar-winning actress and Labour MP for 23 years, died peacefully following a brief illness on June 15 at the age of 87. The star was born in Birkenhead and her family later moved to Hoylake in west Wirral when she was a child.
He said: "The mural served as a testament to Jackson's remarkable ability to excel in both the world of art and politics, honouring her diverse and impactful contributions." The Wirral has been paying tribute to the late actress in other ways. At a meeting of all councillors on October 9, Wirral Council unanimously gave the late actress the title of the Freedom of the Borough posthumously, the highest honour it can give.
After standing down in 2015 as MP, she returned to acting, winning a BAFTA for best actress in 2019 for her role in Elizabeth Is Missing that followed the story of a woman suffering from dementia. Following her death, tributes came in across the political and acting worlds.
