Sketch of Lord Russell MP, Receiving the Freedom of the City, 1859. Lord John Russell (1782-1878) served twice as Prime Minister and in 1859, when he was awarded the Freedom of the City, was foreign secretary in Lord Palmerston's government. He was known as a reforming, liberal politician who throughout his political career championed the causes of the poor and disadvantaged. Additional Info: Aberdeen's Freedom ceremony has its origins in the 12th century. There have been 38 Freedom ceremonies in Aberdeen since the start of the 20th Century. At one time recipients were required to own arms and be prepared to use them in defence of the city.
