Moore... Sir Roger Moore! The Queen bestowes a Knighthood on the third James Bond (pictures)

Associated Press have reported that Roger Moore has become Sir Roger on Queen Elizabeth II`s birthday honors list.

His knighthood was bestowed for his work for UNICEF and the Kiwanis International children`s charity.



"I am so proud to be the recipient of this great honor," the 75-year-old Moore said. "I am doubly proud because this is an acknowledgment of UNICEF, the United Nations Children`s Fund, an organization I am honored to work for as an international goodwill ambassador."



The honors, officially published on Saturday, are bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II but largely selected by the government. Many people are nominated by the public.

In descending order, the honors are knighthoods, Commander of the British Empire, Member of the Order of British Empire and Officer of the British Empire. Those who are awarded CBEs, MBEs and OBEs have no title but can put the letters after their names.
