Actor Geoffrey Palmer is set to be awarded an OBE once the Queen resumes her public engagements, reports The Press Association.

The Queen was forced to cancel three appearances on Monday due to a cold and sore throat.

Palmer, 78, has had a prolific sitcom career, appearing in As Time Goes By, Butterflies and The Rise And Fall of Reginald Perrin.

He has also appeared in a number of films including Mrs. Brown, The Madness Of King George and Tomorrow Never Dies. He is currently working on Flushed Away, an animated tale about an uptown rat who ends up in the sewers of London.
