I don't know if this is called an honour, but on March 17th 1982 he recieved the Freedom of the City of London! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKSxvd5xf28 Yes, his talent and rich and excellent work deserve great honours (if honours mean something).

It would be amusing if that applied to extant bridges, and the ruling hasn't been revoked: you could have some fun with livestock at rush hour, as if Prime Minister May doesn't have enough problems...
