Make it 'Sir' Number One

First thing to talk about is that today Patrick Stewart, the man himself, is now to be addressed as Sir Patrick Stewart. That’s right Queen Elizabeth II knighted him at the Buckingham Palace today. This 69-year old man paid tribute to his former teacher. “Although many people in my life have had great influence on me, without this man none of it would have happened,” he said. As a teacher myself, that just warms my innards.

Patrick Stewart now joins the list the Knighted. On that list you might find Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Christopher Lee, and Anthony Hopkins, just to name a few.
