Culinary legend Mary Berry has been awarded Freedom Of The City of Bath during the annual mayor-making ceremony.
The Great British Bake Off judge was present at the massive event, and joined the parade through the city centre in a powder blue suit and hat.
She said, according to the Bath Chronicle: "As you may imagine I am simply thrilled and honoured to receive the Freedom of the City of Bath.
"I believe I can drive my sheep down Milsom Street, although free parking would have been an added bonus."

She added of the BBC hit which has taken her profile to the next level: "Great British Bake Off has really changed my life. It has been an amazing success and we had nine million viewers last series in the final show."
New Mayor of Bath Cherry Beath gushed: "Mary exemplifies what can be achieved by a creative spirit, along with talent and determination.
"I am sure everyone admires her culinary works of art, which have inspired the nation to get back to baking so I am proud that my first official duty at the 787th Mayor will be to appoint her as an Honorary Freeman of our beautiful city.
"I am delighted to share my special day with Mary and her family."
