Damian Lewis receives Freedom of the City of London
The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor received the award, recognising his achievements as an actor, and said it was “one of the greatest honours I’ve ever received”.
But, speaking in the City, Lewis indicated the romance between his character, Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody, and Carrie Mathison would probably not continue in the US drama, which will return for a third series later this year.

“Can you imagine them being married and bringing up kids? I don’t think it would last long … I don’t think that’s a story that has got many legs.”
But he said fans of the show could still expect “ambiguity, death, sex, intrigue – you know, another day on Homeland”.
Receiving the award at London’s Guildhall, Lewis said of the honour: “It’s remarkable, I’m still surprised … I’m very happy to be here.”
