Hammer Horror star Lee knighted
Sir Christopher is still working at the age of 87 Dracula actor
Christopher Lee has been knighted by the Prince of Wales in a ceremony
at Buckingham Palace.
Best known for his performances opposite Peter Cushing in the Hammer
Horror movies, Sir Christopher has featured in 250 productions.
He was honoured for services to drama and to charity.
Sir Christopher joked: "I've done a lot of films that have become
iconic, not necessarily because of me."
He added: added: "A whole new career opened up for me when I was in
Lords Of The Rings and Star Wars.
"What's really important for me is, as an old man, I'm known by my own
generation and the next generation know me too."
I thought he already had a title. Or does that not Count?
