Screenwriter Jimmy McGovern awarded Freedom of Liverpool
Award-winning screenwriter Jimmy McGovern has received the Freedom of Liverpool.
Mr McGovern, who was born to a large, Catholic, working-class Liverpool family in 1949, had described it as one of "the most extraordinary, fascinating things that's happened to me" when the award was announced late last year.
The lifelong Liverpool FC fan, who was recognised for his 40-year contribution to British TV, film and theatre, said it was "truly humbling" to be nominated alongside the 97th victim of the 1989 Hillsborough football disaster, Andrew Devine, who died in July 2021 as a result of the life-changing injuries he suffered.
Mr McGovern, whose screen credits include Brookside, Cracker, Hillsborough, The Lakes, Moving On, The Street, Anthony and the recent BBC prison drama, Time, received his award at a ceremony at Liverpool Town Hall.
A video message from Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was Liverpool's manager at the time of the Hillsborough tragedy, told him "you have been an absolute credit to your profession, to your family and a credit to the Hillsborough families especially".
Sir Kenny said: "It (Liverpool) is a city that is very close to your heart and one you have served brilliantly well over the years. Not only in your day-to-day job but more especially for the people who were involved in Hillsborough.
"The way that you looked after them, the time and effort that you gave to them, the solace that you gave to them was absolutely fantastic."
