Personal Quote:

[on being awarded the OBE] I'm tickled pink. All I can think is the Queen has never listened to the News Huddlines--all the terrible things that have been said about her or her family! It was jolly nice to be thought of and more than anything else, I was so thrilled it was for services to entertainment. I haven't wasted the last 50 years!. See more »

Trivia:

He was awarded the OBE (Officer of the British Empire) in the 2004 Queen's New Year Honours List for his services to Entertainment. See more »
