Jagger knighted by Charles

ROLLING STONES lead singer Mick Jagger, once a scourge of the British establishment, received his ultimate accolade yesterday when he was knighted by heir to the throne Prince Charles in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

“It was all rather wonderfully formal,” the 60-year-old rock’n’roll lothario told reporters after the ceremony in which Charles tapped him lightly on each shoulder with a sword.

Asked if he believed he deserved the top British establishment accolade, the grinning Jagger replied: “Yeah”.
