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.

Or he’s too young to have been alive then.................
I often ask folks if they have ever jumped a train.
As a child I did it all the time.
I would ride to the edge of town or a few towns down and walk the tracks back.
You meet the oddest people..
LANCELOT: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
GALAHAD: I don't think I was.
LANCELOT: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
GALAHAD: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
LANCELOT: No, it's too perilous.
GALAHAD: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
LANCELOT: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on!
GALAHAD: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
LANCELOT: No. It's unhealthy.
GALAHAD: I bet you're gay.
LANCELOT: No, I'm not.
You know, I found that movie pretty funny in parts, even though I was determined not to like it...especially the part where Kruschev is conspiring with General Zhukov who says he is going to have to report him...
Funny how many Python skits aren’t so “silly” today:
First Man (Terry Jones): Er, excuse me, I want to get married.
Registrar (Eric Idle): I’m afraid I’m already married, sir.
First Man: Er, no, no. I just want to get married.
Registrar: I could get a divorce, I suppose, but it’ll be a bit of a wrench.
First Man: Er, no, no. That wouldn’t be necessary because...
Registrar: You see, would you come to my place or should I have to come to yours, because I’ve just got a big mortgage.
First Man: No, no, I want to get married here.
Registrar: Oh dear. I had my heart set on a church wedding.
First Man: Look, I just want you to marry me... to...
Registrar: I want to marry you too sir, but it’s not as simple as that. You sure you want to get married?
First Man: Yes. I want to get married very quickly.
Registrar: Suits me, sir. Suits me.
First Man: I don’t want to marry you!
Registrar: There is such a thing as breach of promise, sir.
First Man: Look, I just want you to act as registrar and marry me.
Registrar: I will marry you sir, but please make up your mind. Please don’t trifle with my affections.
First Man: I’m sorry, but...
Registrar: That’s all right, sir. I forgive you. Lovers’ tiff. But you’re not the first person to ask me today. I’ve turned down several people already.
First Man: Look, I’m already engaged.
Registrar: (agreeing and thinking) Yes, and I’m already married. Still we’ll get round it.
Second Man (Michael Palin): Good morning. I want to get married.
Registrar: I’m afraid I’m already marrying this gentleman, sir.
Second Man: Well, can I get married after him?
Registrar: Well, divorce isn’t as quick as that, sir. Still, if you’re keen.
Third Man (Graham Chapman): I want to get married, please.
Registrar: Heavens, it’s my lucky day, isn’t it? All right, but you’ll have to wait until I’ve married these two, sir.
Third Man: What, those two getting married... Nigel What are you doing marrying him?
Registrar: He’s marrying me first, sir.
Third Man: He’s engaged to me.
Fourth Man (John Cleese): Come on, Henry.
Registrar: Blimey, the wife.
Second Man: Will you marry me?
Fourth Man: I’m already married.
(Cut to a photo of all five of them standing happily outside a house.)
Voice Over (Terry Jones): Well, things turned out all right in the end, but you musn’t ask how ‘cos it’s naughty. They’re all married and living quite well in a council estate near Dulwich.

“Wait a tic, blimey, this Redistribution of Wealth is trickier than I thought.”
Is it mostly just actors and pop stars that get knighted these days or is it that they are the only ones to make international news? Because even in news stories the only time I see someone referred to as “Sir” So-and-So it’s a pop star or actor.
Gad. I hate it when absurd comedy becomes serious reality!
That was a good series. His high-altitude trip in Peru was really good.
His travel shows were great.
Palin Is a very entertaining fellow, serious, humorous.
Very entertaining.
“A Fish Called Wanda”?
“I don’t like the sound of these here `boncentration bamps’.”
Nope.
From your neck of the woods, this song always makes me misty.

Nowadays that’s a normal pic of London underground subway riders.
Wow! 57 responses in and not one “Icky Icky Icky Icky Ptang Wow,” because they are no longer the knights who say Ni.
Thanks for that. I’d never heard it.
Wonderful lyrics.
