Broadcaster and film producer Emma Freud received an honorary doctorate from the University of Suffolk at a ceremony on Ipswich waterfront on Saturday afternoon. The university recognised her for her work in broadcasting, film and charity. Ms Freud, who was raised on the Suffolk coast and still lives there, said: 'I have spent my life in Suffolk, my father was brought up in Suffolk, my grandparents lived in Suffolk, we've been in the same village for five generations now, and it's the place that I am happiest – it is who I am, it defines me.'
Ms Freud's broadcasting career has included work for BBC Greater London Radio, hosting NTLive for seven years and presenting on BBC Radio 4 for 40 years. For the last two years she has hosted BBC's The Archers Podcast. Her charity work includes serving as Creative Director and Executive Producer of Comic Relief, which has raised more than £2 billion. She co-founded the Make Poverty History campaign with her husband Richard Curtis, U2's Bono and Sir Bob Geldof, and helped produce Live 8 concerts in 2005.
