Ringo Starr receives knighthood



BBC
By Mark Savage 


Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has been knighted for his services to music.

The Duke of Cambridge bestowed the honor on the Liverpool-born star at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

"It means a lot actually," the musician told the BBC. "It means recognition for the things we've done. I was really pleased to accept this."

The honor comes 53 years after the Beatles were all awarded the MBE - and Starr said he had missed his bandmates' companionship this time round.

"I was a bit shaky today on my own," he said.

Ringo appeared as Candy in 1971's "Blindman" starring Tony Anthony.
