Christopher Lee, Arise a Sir

I see Christopher Lee got his knighthood yesterday at the age of 87.
Well done Chris and thanks for all the films over the years shame Hammer did not make more films with you in the lead like Duke De Richleaue .

Remember an anecdote off QI when Stephen Fry was round at Peter Cushing’s (one of the niceset guys to walk Gods Earth) house and was telling him he was to appear with Chris in something. And Peter said Oh Ill ring him and let inform hi and let you speak to him. Even the though of speaking to Chris on the phone had Stephen quaking.

Yep, well done etc etc. It's about time, too. And leaving his film work aside, I wonder what will be revealed when his involvement with the SOE (during World War II) is finally declassified?

A true icon of Cinema, Long overdue.

echoing what has been said above, a well deserved accolade to a great actor and very long overdue.
