Arise, Sir Sadiq - London's mayor knighted by King
Season 1, Ep. 8536
•
The Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan has been knighted by King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
The formal ceremony saw the mayor go down on one knee and be dubbed with a sword by the monarch, the traditional process for conferring a knighthood.
Sir Sadiq, who was re-elected for a third term in May 2024, is the first mayor of London to receive the honour.
He said he joked with the King about which of them was a bigger workaholic and the monarch "was very chuffed that he managed to personally give me this honour".
