Rocker Rod Stewart receives knighthood
https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/enter ... nighthood/
Sir Rod, you wear it well. Rocker Rod Stewart donned tartan trousers — a nod to his Scottish heritage— and a scarlet-trimmed military-style tunic to be knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace.
The raspy-voiced singer of Maggie May, Da Ya Think I’m Sexy and You Wear It Well was honoured “for services to music and charity.”
The 71-year-old star will be able to call himself Sir Roderick David Stewart.
He was joined by wife Penny Lancaster and sons Alastair and Aiden for Tuesday’s investiture ceremony.
When the award was announced by Queen Elizabeth earlier this year, Stewart said it was “a monumental honour.”
He added: “I thank her majesty and promise to ‘wear it well.’”

Re: Rocker Rod Stewart receives knighthood
I think he also should include a rather big thank you to Steve Marriott and especially Jeff Beck. Without them he would not be awarded the title of SIR. Have to admit he's good though.

A well-deserved knighthood. Been a fan of Rod Stewart since I could buy my own records. This is my favourite:

Thanks HHTel, just realised where I was going wrong - need to remove the 's' from http. I'm so chuffed I've sussed it, so here's favourite no.2 (naughty Nereus has kept me up way too late listening to great Rod Stewart tracks...)

Re: Rocker Rod Stewart receives knighthood
Can't say I ever thought he was sexy.... , but actually got to meet him (very briefly) some years ago - seemed a very decent guy, rather than one with his head up his own backside!
Have to admit, have enjoyed his music over the years - congrats on the award, not that I am a big believer these days, but he is IMHO more deserving than many recent recipients!!

Re: Rocker Rod Stewart receives knighthood
There used to be a doppelgänger of Stewart running around Hua Hin. I saw him many times a bars and restaurants. I suspect he copied the style on purpose but never asked him about it.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
