There's a great picture of RT on his Facebook page today. Suitably hatted and suited for his award today.

I'm no monarchist, but I do feel very chuffed for Richard.  And he looks grand.

I think that's just about my feelings on the matter too.  Particularly the last bit... :)

Looks very ambassadorial (if that is a real word)

I'd give almost anything to see him play live dressed like that.

If the Queen has all his albums what do you think is her favorite  track?

"I've got no right to have it all"     (The Old Kit Bag)?

Any other suggestions?

How about 'King of Bohemia'?

I expect he's saying to her, "I wish you'd worn your Litle Blue Number, ma'am."
