Don McCullin becomes the first-ever photographer to win this top British honor, held by only 65 people

GCAB0H Photographer Don McCullin stands in front of one of his photographs on display in the Shaped by War exhibition at the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester.

Sir Don McCullin has been given one of Britain's highest civilian honors in a list of new awards released to celebrate King Charles III's birthday. The celebrated photojournalist, who is now 90 years old, has been named a Companion of Honour for services to photography.

The Order of the Companions of Honour was initiated by King George V in 1917 and is one of the rarest honours in the United Kingdom, as it is only held by a maximum of 65 people at one time.
