As people stood in awe while You'll Never Walk Alone was sung beautifully, Jurgen Klopp sat beaming as he was awarded the Freedom of Liverpool.
The Liverpool boss was handed the keys to the city in a ceremony held at the Town Hall on Wednesday, November 2, that had people chuckling as the likes of Sir Kenny Dalglish, Margaret Aspinall and Joanne Anderson read touching testaments to the German. The 55-year-old has become the first non-UK-born European to be awarded the accolade, and the second behind Nelson Mandela not from the UK.
As the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Roy Gladden, described Klopp as a "true man of the people" and "a true modern-day Bill Shankly" people couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement.
