Bob Geldof was awarded the Freedom of the City of London yesterday.
The Dublin-born rock star was granted the honour at an intimate ceremony in the Guildhall. Sir Bob (61) is already a freeman of his native city, after receiving the honour in 2006 in recognition of his humanitarian work.
The Live Aid co-organiser, who was previously nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, has also been recognised at the highest levels in his adopted country with an honorary knighthood in 1986.
