GALLERY: Ringo Starr Becomes a “Sir”
LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 20: Ringo Starr, real name Richard Starkey, poses at Buckingham Palace after receiving his Knighthood at an Investiture ceremony on March 20, 2018 in London, England.
Today (March 20) was a big day for Ringo Starr as he was knighted in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
Starr told BBC News that being knighted “means a lot actually. It means recognition for the things we’ve done. I was really pleased to accept this.” He also playfully said of his new Knight Commander medal that he’ll “be wearing it at breakfast.”
Congratulations Sir Ringo Starr!
