Broadcaster Gloria Hunniford has been honored with the Freedom of the City of London, a prestigious recognition awarded at the Guildhall. At 86, Hunniford expressed her delight and humility in receiving this accolade, which acknowledges her significant contributions to entertainment and her advocacy work as a breast cancer charity ambassador. Known for founding the Caron Keating Foundation in memory of her daughter, who passed away from breast cancer in 2004, Hunniford has had a remarkable career in broadcasting. She made history in 1982 as the first woman to host a daily radio show on BBC Radio 2 and has appeared on numerous television programs including Loose Women and Strictly Come Dancing. The Freedom of the City, a tradition believed to have started in 1237, honors individuals for their exceptional contributions to London and public life. City of London Corporation policy chairman Chris Hayward praised Hunniford for her professionalism and impact on audiences over the years.
