On a rainy, windswept day one of Ireland's most famous sons, Bob Geldof, received a special honour - the Freedom of Dublin City.
Sitting among the guests at the ceremony were three of his daughters, Tiger Lilly, Fifi Trixibelle and Peaches, as well as long-term love Jeanne Marine and the singer-turned-activist's 91-year-old dad, Bob Senior.
Peaches spoke for all the family when she declared:
"We are proud kids, it's very cool." 
The weather did nothing to dampen the family's delight over the tribute, which Peaches said "actually means something".
The ex-Boomtown Rat was in a happy mood saying to the 300 well-wishers who'd braved the weather to watch,
"It's raining and it's cold but it's a beautiful day and I can't think of a more beautiful day or more beautiful city to hold this in than Dublin,"
