Legendary horror star Christopher Lee has received a CBE from the Queen.
Lee, who is 80 in May is famous for playing Count Dracula in early Hammer horror films but some may remember his superb, post Rathbone, performance as Sherlock Holmes, and even better as Holmes' brother Mycroft.
He reinforced his status as the country's finest character actor opposite Roger Moore and Britt Eklund in The Man with the Golden Gun but will now be seen on screen as Saruman the Great Wizard in Lord Of The Rings.
