Rock legend Rod Stewart has officially become a ‘Sir’ after receiving a knighthood from Prince William on Tuesday.

71-year-old Rod Stewart was invited to Buckingham Palace in London where he was honored for his services to the music industry and charity work.

Stewart arrived for the investiture ceremony with his wife, Penny Lancaster-Stewart, 45, and children Aiden, 5, and Alastair, 10, dressed in his signature tartan trousers.

Rod’s honor was announced in June as part of British monarch Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday honors list.

Upon receiving the news he was to be given the honor, Rod said in a statement, “I’ve led a wonderful life and have had a tremendous career thanks to the generous support of the great British public.

“This monumental honor has topped it off and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I thank Her Majesty and promise to wear it well.”
