London, July 11 (ANI): 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.
