It was a family affair at Buckingham Palace today, as the gentlemen of the Ferry household gathered there for a special ceremony.

Bryan Ferry received a new title from Her Maj today: Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) – for this 40-year contribution to music.

I think in his Roxy days, Bryan surely wore a suit, the colour of that ribbon.


It has to be one of the most dapper accessories he’s worn – and that’s saying a whole lot.
The whole lot of Ferrys came out to support their dapper dad, dressed like princes, of course.

It’s amazing how much Otis is starting to look like his dad, in his younger days.

I’ve always thought that Mr. Ferry was rock royalty, anyway.
Congratulations, sir. It’s most excellent news, indeed.
