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


šŸŽ·šŸŽøšŸŽ¶ 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 yesterdayā€™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 Britainā€™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 ā€œEastEnders.ā€

Congratulating him online, a tweet from Queenā€™s official account said: ā€œArise Sir Brian May."

ā€œBrianā€™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.

ā€œMany congratulations, Sir Brian!ā€

There was also a post on the royal familyā€™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 IIIā€™s first New Yearā€™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 isnā€™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 ā€œGod Save the Queenā€ from the roof of Buckingham Palace at Queen Elizabeth IIā€™s Golden Jubilee in 2002.

Twenty years later, he performed with Queen for the same monarchā€™s Platinum Jubilee Concert.


"Have you heard the one about a Queen šŸ‘‘šŸŽ· YolanDa Brown who met a member of Queen šŸŽø Brian May and they both met the King šŸ‘‘ King Charles The Royal Family at Buckingham Palace šŸ˜‚ 

No seriously, I had to take 24 hours to process everything about yesterdayā€¦ 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 heā€™s working on it and I said Iā€™m working on it too, I hope we can work on it together! 

My family made the day extra special, they are my heartbeatā€¦ a big thank you to you all for all your many many messages, I am overwhelmed by your love everytime. So sorry I canā€™t reply to every comment, but I make sure I read every single one! Thank you. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø"- YolanDa Brown.
