Chris Kamara, one of football's most popular figures, has received his MBE honour at Windsor Castle.
Kamara was made a Member of the British Empire by Prince William in the investiture ceremony on Tuesday, with the pair sharing a joke during their exchange.
The 65-year-old played for nine English professional clubs in a career spanning 20 years before going on to manage Bradford and Stoke, but in more recent years he has become best known for his work as a pundit and presenter on Sky Sports.
Kamara's inability to contain his enthusiasm for the game and his propensity for gaffes during live stadium video links in Sky's Soccer Saturday programme became the stuff of legend, often leaving programme host Jeff Stelling and other studio guests in stitches.
