The Archbishop of Canterbury is to receive the highest honour his home city of Swansea can bestow, the Freedom of the City.
Dr Rowan Williams will be following in the footsteps of people such as former US President Jimmy Carter, footballer John Charles and military organisations including HMS Scott and The Royal Welsh Regiment (Royal Welch Fusiliers) when he receives the award at a special ceremony later this month.
Swansea Council agreed earlier this year to bestow the Freedom of the City to Dr Williams, who has been leader of the Anglican Communion since 2003.
The Council said Dr Williams has a long association with Swansea and remains a great supporter of the area.
