Robbie gets freedom of home town

Robbie Williams was granted the Freedom of Stoke-on-Trent yesterday.

The 'Angels' hitmaker - who is currently on the UK leg of his 'Swings Both Ways' tour - was incredibly "proud" to receive the honour in a secret ceremony attended by his parents, pregnant wife Ayda Field, their daughter Teddy, 21 months, and Stoke-on-Trent Lord Mayor Majid Khan and paid a heartfelt tribute to his home town.
