Robbie Williams given Freedom of Stoke-on-Trent

Robbie Williams has been granted the Freedom of Stoke-on-Trent.

The singer, who hails from the city, was given the honour by Lord Mayor Majid Khan at the town hall on Tuesday (July 1).

He was given the tribute in recognition of his efforts in the entertainment industry as he celebrates his 40th birthday.

Williams commented: "Stoke-on-Trent made me. My humour, my 'cheeky chappie' bit, that's all from here. Cut me and it's through me like a stick of rock."

The 'Take The Crown' man was joined on the day by his parents Jan and Peter, his wife Ayda and daughter Teddy.

Williams is the 67th recipient of the Freedom of Stoke.
