LONDON DOES LIKE HER METHODS! - Judi Dench awarded Freedom of London

Bond and Tanner may have considered her the "Evil Queen of Numbers", but the City of London gave Dame Judi Dench the Freedom of the City of London award For her services to acting.

The 76-year-old actress, who started playing the role of M for the first time in GOLDENEYE, joked to the journalists after recieving her award: "I look forward to being able to drive my sheep over London Bridge, and occasionally wearing a sword in public."

From THE GOLDENEYE DOSSIER, we congratulate Judi and we hope to see her back at the head of MI6 in Bond 23.
