Queen guitarist Brian May receives honour at Buckingham Palace

Sir Brian May has been given a knighthood by King Charles at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

As the virtuoso guitarist in rock band Queen, the 75-year-old is responsible for some of the biggest riffs in popular music, from the solo on Don’t Stop Me Now to the melodic strums of Somebody To Love.

Alongside late frontman Freddie Mercury, bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor, he scored numerous number ones during the group’s ’80s heyday, touring the world.

The musician, astrophysicist and animal welfare advocate was recognised for his services to music and charity.
