Dean Martin Is Sworn In As A Freeman Of The City of London

Gold Radio DJ, Dean Martin, has been granted the privilege of being hung with a silken rope. But its doubtful whether Dean Martin who works for Gold Radio Network will take up the offer after being sworn in as a Freeman of the City of London at a Guildhall Ceremony on March 17th 2009.

Dean can now look forward to driving his sheep over London Bridge and digging up turf on Tower Green. He can also claim exemption from serving with the armed forces.

Dean said "I am delighted to receive this unusual honour. The City of London is a unique locality and I am determined to contribute what I can to life in the area".
