Line of Duty's writer Jed Mercurio said he was "flattered and honoured" after he was awarded an OBE - but refused to say whether the show would return.
The screenwriter and producer, who also penned Bodyguard which starred Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes, proudly displayed his medal for services to TV drama.
He was awarded the medal by Princess Anne and said: "The ceremony was really enjoyable, very relaxed and the Princess Royal asked me a few questions about my work, and it was a very pleasant conversation”.
