God save the King (of rock)

BONO accepted an honorary knighthood from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II yesterday with one condition — “don’t call me Sir”.

The U2 frontman was awarded the honour during a brief ceremony at British ambassador David Reddaway’s official residence in Dublin.

Fellow band members The Edge and Adam Clayton joined the lead singer’s wife Ali and their four children — Jordan, Eve, Eli and John — for the reception.
