Dudley-born comedian Sir Lenny Henry was in his hometown today to mark the unveiling of a MOBO/ITV2 'Paving the Way Award' in his honour.

Sir Lenny is being celebrated for inspiring the next generation of artists and performers - and chose to have his celebratory paving stone placed in Buffery Park in Dudley.

He spoke to ITV News Central's Sameena Ali-Khan about what it meant to him to return to the place where he grew up - and how it shaped him.

He also joked about being knighted last week - and insisted he's not telling everyone to call him 'Sir Lenny'!
