Giants creator Jean-Luc Courcoult is set to receive the Freedom of Liverpool.
The director of French theatre company Royal de Luxe has been awarded the highest civic honour after attracting millions of visitors to the city with the Giants in 2012, 2014 and 2018.
A final performance of the larger-than-life puppets drew an audience of around 1.3 million people across both Liverpool and Wirral earlier this month.
In addition to Mr Courcoult’s accolade, Royal de Luxe will be awarded the Freedom Roll of Associations and Institutions for their services to the city.
The Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, said: “Jean-Luc and the Giants have a special place in the hearts of Liverpudlians, having brought so much joy and wonder to the streets of our city.
“We don’t give these awards out lightly, but the impact that Jean-Luc and his team have had on our city has been immense.”
Current Rangers FC manager Steven Gerrard and comedian Ricky Tomlinson were previously awarded the freedom of their home city.
