"I had the worst attack of stage fright in my life,"
the 75-year-old actor said.
Sir Roger was honoured for his charity work. He has
been a Unicef goodwill ambassador for 12 years and also supports
Kiwanis International, a children's charity, but he is still best
recognised for his role in seven Bond films.
"Her Majesty said I'd been involved with charities
for a long time but she supposed that people will always call me
007," he said.
Sting was made a CBE. Announced as "Gordon Sumner,
known as Sting", the 51-year-old singer and songwriter said: "I was
quite nervous. I've never met the Queen before."
