A councillor said it was an “honour” and a “pleasure” to receive the Freedom of the City of London.
Conservative councillor for Harrow Weald, Ramji Chauhan, was presented with the award on September 6.
Cllr Chauhan was joined by his friends and family at the Chamberlain’s Court at Guildhall for the Freedom ceremony presented by the clerk of the court, Murray Craig.
The Harrow Weald councillor was given a copy of the “freedom” parchment inscribed with his name, together with a copy of the “Rules for the Conduct of Life”, which date from the mid-18th century.
The clerk, Mr Craig, then extended the right hand of fellowship to Cllr Chauhan and greeted him as a “citizen of London”.
Cllr Chauhan told the Harrow Times it was a “honour and a pleasure” to receive the tribute.
