Queen asks Clapton: Who are you?

The Queen of England had no idea who Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were when they attended a reception at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

The legendary guitarists were taken aback when the British monarch asked them what their jobs where, at an event to celebrate the music industry's valuable contribution to British culture.

The Queen asked Clapton, "Have you been playing a long time?" to which he replied, "It must be 45 years now."

Clapton laughs: "It doesn't matter at all that she did not know who were are or what we do. I wouldn't expect her to."
