Freedom of the City - Catherine Zeta Jones

It was a lovely afternoon today as we welcomed Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Douglas and their son, Dylan to the Guildhall so we could bestow the Freedom of the City on Catherine. 

Catherine has been a fantastic ambassador for the City, as well as supporting a number of South Wales charities. She has put the city on the map, has never forgotten her roots, and could easily be described as Swansea's most famous daughter. The whole family were delightful and down to earth.
Catherine is one of only two women to receive the Freedom of the City, the other being Adelina Patti in 1911.

This evening there is a gala dinner in the Brangwyn Hall at which Catherine will take the stage to talk about her life. Proceeds are going to Maggies and to the Lord Mayor's Charities.
