Keith Richards is honoured with new award celebrating residents of Connecticut - where the Rolling Stones legend has lived since 1985


The English Rolling Stones legend, 81, became the first recipient of the new Connecticut Governor's Award of Excellence on Wednesday.

The Governor noted Keith's support of local organisations that serve people with disabilities including SPHERE, an education, recreation and arts group, and The Prospector Theater, which operates a movie theatre and online popcorn business. Keith is a founding member of the Rolling Stones, which formed in 1962 as a blues band and gained popularity with original songs including (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil. The Vogue model, 38, who already shares four-year-old daughter Arlowe with the film director, posted a slew of snaps from the delivery room as well as a racy image of herself heavily pregnant and topless beneath a fur coat.
