Arise, Sir Baldrick: Tony Robinson gets a knighthood
Birthday Honours: Adele joins Blackadder stars on list
Blackadder actor Tony Robinson has been knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours on a list that also includes his co-star Rowan Atkinson.
Sir Tony is famed for his role as long-suffering manservant Baldrick to Atkinson's Blackadder character on the BBC historical comedy series and his catchphrase "I have a cunning plan".
He is recognised for his public and political work, while Atkinson's CBE is for services to drama and charity.
Sculptor Anish Kapoor and former secretary general of the TUC, Brendan Barber, are among the other knights.
