Stoke-on-Trent's most famous crooner Robbie Williams has been awarded the freedom of his home city.
Robbie thanks Stoke for the freedom & the food!
Tweeting after he was awarded the freedom of his home city Stoke-on-Trent, Robbie Williams joked "thanks for the oatcakes!".
The solo singer and former Take That member was awarded a commemorative scroll by Lord Mayor Majid Khan at the Town Hall yesterday.
