On December 10 His Royal Highness Prince William presented a member of rock and roll royalty with knighthood.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Roger Daltrey is now Sir Roger!
Saying that he is accepting the honour for everyone at Teenage Cancer Trust, Sir Roger called it an “incredible honour”; adding, “for me, it’s a double honour because I’m getting it for my work with Teenage Cancer Trust. So personally, it’s wonderful. But for Teenage Cancer Trust, I’m accepting it on behalf of all those people who may never get an honour and without whom we never would have made the success we have made of our charity. It’s important to me that I make them realize they are really appreciated.”
A war baby, Sir Roger noted that he grew up in the streets of London saying, “so for a kid like me, achieving this, it’s a dream.”
