We will, we will knight you: Queen rocker Brian May formally knighted by King Charles

Watch the hair! And the knees! Queen guitarist Brian May returned to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday to be knighted by King Charles III and officially join the order of the British Empire.

As if the founding member of the legendary rock band wasn't music royalty already.

Although the announcement of the knighthood was made at the end of last year, the investiture ceremony only took place this week at Buckingham Palace. The 75-year-old rocker received the nominal honorific alongside fellow musician YolanDa Brown, who performed for the new king at Monday's Commonwealth Day service in Westminster Abbey. May chatted and laughed with the king and posed with his medallion after the ceremony.
