Honour for Sydney Opera House designer

The designer of one of the world's great buildings, the Sydney Opera House in Australia is to be honoured at last by the city he quit more than thirty years ago amid a bitter row over the project.

Danish architect Joern Utzon was never allowed to complete the opera house.

He's been invited back to be given the keys of the city, to mark his eightieth birthday, though it's not clear whether he'll make the journey from his home in Spain.
