Williams was recognised for his efforts in the entertainment industry on the same week he celebrated his 40th birthday.
Speaking about his pride at winning the award:
"Stoke-on-Trent made me. My humour, my 'cheeky chappie' bit, that's all from here. Cut me and it's through me like a stick of rock."
The ultimate entertainer was joined on the day by his parents Jan and Peter, his wife Ayda and daughter Teddy when collecting his award.
Williams is the 67th recipient of the Freedom of Stoke.
