Arise, Sir Roger!

Sir Roger Daltrey was knighted by HRH The Prince of Wales today in a ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Sir Roger told the press after the investiture ceremony that he is accepting the honour on behalf of all those at the Teenage Cancer Trust.

He said the knighthood is 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 realise they are really appreciated.”

Sir Roger added, “It is an incredible honour. I was born in the Second World War and grew up in the streets in London, so for a kid like me, achieving this, it’s a dream.”
