Sir Michael Palin managed to suppress a joke when collecting the 'unbelievable' honour of a knighthood from the Duke of Cambridge for his post-Monty Python career.
The writer and broadcaster was dubbed a knight by William for services to travel, culture and geography, making him the first star of the sketch show to receive the honour.
The investiture ceremony was also attended by Vernon Unsworth, one of the divers who aided in the perilous rescue of a young football team trapped in a Thai cave.

I believe Michael Palin is the most “normal” member of the original MP troupe.

I thought Cleese was already knighted. Could be wrong.

Back in 2002 Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones was knighted. Keith Richards - no fan of the establishment - commented sarcastically: “He should have held out for a lordship.”

"I believe Michael Palin is the most “normal” member of the original MP troupe." All Python jokes aside, Palin's various endeavors makes him a renaissance man in entertainment. He probably leans left in politics but I have always enjoyed his work from dead parrots to documentaries..

Palin played a great Heinrich Bimmler, next to Mr. Hilter and Ron Vibbentrop.

From what I have read, that scene was improv.
They were supposed to do something else, but wandered away from the script.
They saw it was funnier than the script so they left it in!.............
