Well worth a read and very, very west London. No spoilers, but the monkeys that got on a train… |  |

Congratulations Robert!
Not sure I'd have swapped a Town House in Camden for a flat in the Barbican, to each his own. |  | | |

Does that mean he can now take his sheep over London Bridge?
I’ll have to look out for them at the Barbican on my walk from Liverpool st before the Oxford game on Wednesday. |  | | |

Well done to Robert Elms. My dearly missed Mum was also a Freeman, for which she was very proud to be, and a proper cockney born within the sound of Bow Bells. For her 80th birthday I got here a place on the annual Woolman’s Guild Sheep Drive, which allowed her to drive a flock of sheep across London Bridge, which as a Freeman Robert Elms also now has that right to do.
I love the history of our great city and Peter Ackroyd, who is quoted at the top of Robert Elms’ book has written some stunning books on its history. All worth the read. | |

Brilliant. I’ve just plucked it from my bookshelf and having a second go at it. It’s lovely to revisit a book now and then.

What does “Freedom of the City of London” actually mean?
In my imagination it means you can drive on the pavement, run around stark bollock naked, sing off-key at the top of your lungs on the tube, and, indeed, walk your sheep across London Bridge. But I dare say there is a real meaning. |  |

Ii think it’s called a Freedom Pass, all my London based mates have got one on account of being over 60.
Like them, Rob Elms can now get the tube to his London football ground of choice for free. |  | | |

Well done Robert!
Met him a few times in the early-mid noughties as I was going out with his childminder at the time. Nice guy, down to earth and, of course, lots of QPR chats. |  | | |

Always liked Robert Elms. When the item came on the TV news last night I thought it was about Gary Oldman in Slow Horses... |  | | |
