Freedom of the
City fit for a Royle
ONE of Liverpool's most
famous actors and comedians will be granted the Freedom of the City
at a special ceremony next week.
On Monday, 6 October 2014, Ricky Tomlinson will receive the honour in
recognition of his varied work over the years fighting for justice,
entertaining millions on TV and raising money and awareness for
charity.
Liverpool's Lord Mayor, Councillor Erica Kemp, said:- "The
Freedom of the City is the highest honour we can bestow, and Ricky
Tomlinson is most definitely a worthy recipient.
Not only has he spent many years entertaining the nation in many
varied roles, he is an advocate for justice, never afraid to speak
out on behalf of others.
He is incredibly supportive of many local charities and a fantastic
ambassador for this City. I am delighted to be granting him the
Freedom of the City of Liverpool." Ricky Tomlinson said:-
"As someone Liverpool born and bred I
am delighted to be awarded this honour. To be given the freedom of
the City I love is a highlight of my career, I am incredibly proud
to be joining the many great people who have also received this
honour." Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said:-
"I can't think of many
people more deserving than Ricky Tomlinson to receive the Freedom of
Liverpool.
As well as entertaining the nation as a versatile and talented
actor, he has raised and donated millions of pounds to good causes
and campaigned to raise the profile of hugely important issues
ranging from Hillsborough to human rights.
He embodies the very best attributes of the City; hugely
passionate, opinionated and willing to speak up for and defend those
who don't have a voice.
Despite his incredible success over many years, he has remained
absolutely true to his roots and works every day to improve the
lives of others in the City." Ricky was born in Blackpool, as his mother, Peggy, was evacuated
there during the 2nd World War, but returned to the City just 3 days later.
Ricky has starred in films and many television shows most memorable
as Bobby Grant in 'Brookside' and Jim Royle in 'The Royle
Family'. In 1996 Ricky teamed up with writer Jimmy McGovern to
give a brilliant and moving performance in 'Hillsborough'
as
John Glover the father of Ian who died in the disaster. Ricky has
supported the fight for justice for the 96 victims and their
relatives ever since the tragedy.
Ricky supported the 1st national builders strike in 1972 fighting
for fair pay and conditions. In1973 he was imprisoned, along with
others, after being convicted of being an illegal flying picket. He
is still campaigning vigorously to have his, and fellow convicted
comrades verdicts quashed, demanding the granting of full pardons.
