Tim Hesketh, chief executive of Tramlink, The Group of companies behind The City 's network, said it was a " fantastic thing to do".

He Said : " [Mary] wants to Come Along to The Depot to do the unveiling. It's a lovely thing we can do with the trams - All our trams are named after the famous sons and daughters of Nottingham who put Nottingham where it is. "

However, Mr Hesketh said it will mean someone's name will have to be removed to make way.
