LONDON - Former Led Zeppelin star Robert Plant was honoured with a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) medal by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace in London on Friday.

According to the Daily Express, the 60-year-old heavy metal star also recalled that on his first meeting with the Prince, the latter had said: “That is a remarkable voice. Do you gargle with port?”

The Stairway To Heaven singer said that it was humbling to be alongside military heroes and community volunteers.

He, however, denied that the award meant that he had become part of the establishment. (ANI)
