Famous for his brilliant career on both the pitch and the sideline, as a former player and manager of Liverpool and the Scottish national team, Sir Kenny Dalglish received another honour on Friday.
Accompanied to the royal residence by his wife Marina, Dalglish was awarded a knighthood by Prince Charles, in homage to his outstanding football career and chairty work.
Since his retirement from the game, Dalglish has been a key figure of support for the families of the Hillborough disaster victims, as well as raising up to £10 million for charity.
After receiving the award, Dalglish told the media: "It's humbling, I'm hugely proud of what's happened. You never set out in your life to do anything other than what your parents taught you to do and that's to be decent to people and if somebody needed help you helped them. The three things they've recognised are things that are really close to our hearts."
Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe was also honoured at Buckingham Palace, being awarded an OBE in recognition of his services to his foundation, which supports the homeless, vulnerable and abused children in his family.
