Who has the freedom of your city?

South coast footy fans are calling for Portsmouth FC’s FA Cup winning team to be given the freedom of the city.

At the very least, manager Harry Redknapp should get it, some are saying.

With it come some special, and sometimes very strange, privileges for the recipient.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and former Nottingham Forest manager the late Brian Clough were both awarded the honour in their respective cities.

Speak to civic leaders in your area and see which characters have been awarded the freedom of your city and what privileges they have enjoyed.
