(CNN) Music legend Rod Stewart was knighted by Britain's Prince William at Buckingham Palace Tuesday.
The rocker was honored for his services to music and charity in a ceremony he called "mind-blowing" and "wonderful."
He will be known as Sir Roderick Stewart.
On Twitter, some commenters remarked on Stewart's choice of trousers, and expressed curiosity in his seemingly diminished stature, as he went in to the investiture ceremony.
Of course you knew he was kneeling, right?
Fans joined in to shower praise, saying the knighthood was "well deserved."
Others expressed pride. "All of us in Glasgow are so proud of you," one commenter posted.
Stewart later stepped out with wife Penny Lancaster to an event at the Royal Academy for the Arts, where they met Queen Elizabeth.
Some guys have all the luck.
