Tom Jones has been invested with a knighthood at Buckingham Palace.
Jones, whose real name is Thomas Woodward, became famous for second single It's Not Unusual, and has continued to have chart success up until today.
After receiving the decoration, Jones explained: "Accepting a knighthood is a great and humbling honour. I know my family - and I hope my friends and fans - will share my gratitude and excitement. I can only thank the fans who have supported me for years for making it possible."
The 65-year-old added: "It is fantastic. It was lovely to see the Queen again. I love seeing the Queen and I have always been a royalist. She is lovely and she still is lovely. She has got a great smile and her whole face lights up when she smiles.
