Re: Wales manager Chris Coleman has been given the freedom of his hometown of Swansea.<br />
Coleman, 46, guided Wales to the semi-final of Euro 2016 - the side's first major tournament in 58 years.<br />
He got the honour at a ceremony at the city's Guildhall on Thursday.<br />
Lord Mayor David Hopkins said: "Chris is a proud Swansea boy and a terrific ambassador for the city, so he's thoroughly deserving of being offered the highest honour we can confer."<br />
Other people to be given the freedom of the city include Prince Charles and President Jimmy Carter, as well as footballers John Charles and Mel Nurse.<br />
Following the ceremony, a celebration will be held at Brangwyn Hall, which includes a performance by James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers.
