 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics. However, the emergence of a multipolar world is, of ​course, no easy task; it faces resistance from countries that are not prepared to accept this reality: those who are accustomed to ​thinking i...

MUSICIANS BRIAN MAY AND YOLANDA BROWN RECEIVED THEIR HONOURS AS KNIGHT AND OFFICER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE (OBE) FROM KING CHARLES. (PHOTOS).#CONGRATULATIONS.

🎷🎸🎶 Musicians Brian May and YolanDa Brown congratulate each other after receiving their honours from The King during an Investiture at Buckingham Palace.

YolanDa performed in front of His Majesty as part of yesterday’s Commonwealth Day Service in Westminster Abbey.

Brian May, lead guitarist of rock band Queen, receives knighthood from King Charles III.


Legendary rock guitarist Brian May has received a knighthood from Britain’s King Charles III.

May, who was a founding member of the band Queen, will now be known as Sir Brian, following the investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

The star received the title of Knight Bachelor for his services to music and to charity. He attended the ceremony alongside his wife, Anita Dobson, a former star of long-running British TV soap “EastEnders.”

Congratulating him online, a tweet from Queen’s official account said: “Arise Sir Brian May."

“Brian’s investiture as a Knight of The Realm took place today at Buckingham Palace. The knighthood was presented to Brian by His Royal Highness, King Charles.

“Many congratulations, Sir Brian!”

There was also a post on the royal family’s official Twitter account about the event, picturing May alongside British saxophonist YolanDa Brown, who was also honored.

May, 75, was one of more than 1,000 people honored on King Charles III’s first New Year’s honors list, announced in December 2022.

In addition to performing with Queen since the 1970s, May is also an astrophysicist. He received his PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007 after taking a break from his studies in the 1970s to focus on the band.

He is also a vocal supporter of animal rights and critic of hunting. In 2010, he formed an organization called the Save Me Trust, to campaign against fox hunting and badger culling in the UK.

May isn’t the only member of Queen to have received a royal title. Drummer Roger Taylor was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2020. May previously received the title of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2005.

May famously performed a rendition of “God Save the Queen” from the roof of Buckingham Palace at Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee in 2002.

Twenty years later, he performed with Queen for the same monarch’s Platinum Jubilee Concert.


"Have you heard the one about a Queen 👑🎷 YolanDa Brown who met a member of Queen 🎸 Brian May and they both met the King 👑 King Charles The Royal Family at Buckingham Palace 😂 

No seriously, I had to take 24 hours to process everything about yesterday… It was such a joy attending my investiture with my family at Buckingham Palace. 

Surreal to speak to the King 2 days in a row, following my performance at Westminster Abbey. We spoke about music education, what more we can do and he said he’s working on it and I said I’m working on it too, I hope we can work on it together! 

My family made the day extra special, they are my heartbeat… a big thank you to you all for all your many many messages, I am overwhelmed by your love everytime. So sorry I can’t reply to every comment, but I make sure I read every single one! Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️"- YolanDa Brown.
