Brooding Bond star Sean Connery became a Sir on Wednesday, after being knighted by the Queen in a ceremony at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, his home city.
Connery, a staunch supporter of the Scottish National party, knelt before the Queen during the ceremony as she lightly touched his shoulder with a sword, before placing a red ribbon bearing his medal around his neck. His wife Micheline and brother Neil were there to cheer him on.
As Connery left the palace he hugged his wife as he said that this was, "one of the proudest days of my life."
The 69 year-old star, who now lives in Marbella, said that holding the ceremony in Edinburgh was "a great honour for Scotland. There's only one day of the Honours system up here."
Connery, who once claimed it was "OK to smack a woman", was denied a knighthood in both the 1997 and 1998 honours lists after Donald Dewar, who was then the Scottish Secretary, protested.
Aside from the Bond films, Sir Sean's 30 year film career includes the The Hunt for Red October, First Knight and Entrapment, in which he starred opposite Catherine Zeta Jones.
