Saying “I didn’t expect to get this,” Roger Daltry received a royal honor at Buckingham Palace on this day in 2005. He was awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to Music, the Entertainment Industry and Charity by Queen Elizabeth. Sir Roger joking about the situation said “She’d probably fall off her podium if she heard The Who’s songs” and “I still have criticisms of the establishment but the queen is an exceptional woman. I think she’s amazing.”
