Actor Kenneth Branagh receives freedom of his native Belfast

Actor Kenneth Branagh has said he is humbled to receive the freedom of his native Belfast.

Branagh, who is also a film director, left the city when he was aged nine. He said his mother and father would have been proud.

He played the title role in the 1980s Billy Trilogy plays, which portrayed a Protestant, working-class family in Belfast and helped propel him to prominence.
