Michael Caine was officially knighted by the Queen in a ceremony held on Thursday, November 16.
Caine chose to be knighted under his real name of Maurice Micklewhite, Junior, in honour of his father, but will be known professionally as Sir Michael Caine.
"I was named after my father and I was knighted in his name because I love my father," he said.
"I always kept my real name - I'm a very private and family-orientated person." He added: "When I go home, I leave Michael Caine the film star with the costumes, the wigs and the props in the studio."
Attending with him were his wife Shakira and his daughters Dominique (Niki) and Natasha.
