Silent film legend Charlie Chaplin has become Sir Charles after a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
The star of such films as The Kid and The Great Dictator was knighted in the New Year's Honours List.
The ceremony took place just miles from the south London district where he spent much of his childhood.
Sir Charles was accompanied to Buckingham Palace by his fourth wife, Oona, and the two youngest of his nine children.
The slapstick legend, famed for his acrobatic routines, received his knighthood, from a wheelchair.
It was a reflection of just how late in life - at the age of 85 - his honour had finally come. (BBC)
