| Queen tells Sir Boyd Tunnock she prefers Tunnock's teacakes to the caramel wafers as she knights him at Buckingham Palace ceremony |
| 2019-11-22 |
Sir Boyd Tunnock, 86, received his knighthood from the Queen at a royal investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London. The inventor, who runs the family-owned business in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, received his honour today for services to business and charity. He said the Queen chose the teacake from the Scottish brand over the caramel wafer, which was created by his father. |

| #4 Wouldn't be the first time a royal conferred a title on someone just because they favour their buns. |

| #3 In the good old days you needed to do something monumental to get a Nobel Peace Prize, too. We'll just note that making a 'good cookie' is a better accomplishment than some others that are celebrated. |

| #1 In the good old days you needed to do some kind of brave deed in battle to be knighted. Now you just need to invent a cookie. |
