(UK) - Sir Ian McKellen has spoken of his happiness at becoming a Companion of Honour for services to drama and equality.
"I am honoured to join an Order which includes such distinguished practitioners in the arts. "It is particularly pleasing that 'equality' is included in my citation," he said. The Oscar-nominated actor is a founder member of Gay rights organisation Stonewall. He was awarded a knighthood in 1990 and describes himself as "one of the very few openly Gay knights".
