The English Heritage Trust plaque, unveiled yesterday, marking the former home of Bob Marley, at 34 Ridgemount Gardens, in Camden, London.

Jamaica's most famous son, Bob Marley, was yesterday honoured with the unveiling of a heritage plaque at his former London, England home.

Marley's first and brief home while living in London in 1972, 34 Ridgmount Gardens, in Camden, joins over 800 residences in the city that housed historical figures including fellow Jamaican icon, Marcus Garvey.

The unveiling of the plaque, which was organised by the Nubian Jak Community Trust and London Mayor Ken Livingstone, coincides with Black History Month, which is celebrated in October in London.

Honorees must be dead for 20 years and have achieved eminence in their field to be nominated for such a plaque.
